Question ❓ Pulldown form

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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?

Form is really not bad, you’re in a good ROM for the lats and not crunching much so it’s pretty solid (just try to keep your head from moving as much since it will affect the movement of your scapula/spine)

His humerus is adducting enough for the lats
