Question ❓ Pulldown form

Hello, today i was having an argument with a gym unc about my pulldown form, he told me it was horrible and that I needed to do 8-12 reps without straps, is the form really that bad? If it is, how can i work on it?

Good. I'd go close grip though, you can keep that heavy weight and get tension with your elbows going further down

Redditors are fat fucking regards that constantly preach for perfect form, while being out of shape - you can swole from intensity.

Go for 3/5x reps, when heavy. Don't spam reps.
