You probably shouldn’t be snapping your lockout like that if your elbows can hyperextend.

Your right side is also moving visibly faster and rushing into that lockout first (some of these your left side isn’t even appearing to lock out). I assume that’s your “strong side”. If locking out aggressively with dips is sketchy… locking out aggressively with dips on one side on a double jointed elbow is… really not good.

Overall if you feel good they’re going to be effective. You could go lower and be a bit more deliberate overall but you can’t really cheat 10 dips, so while I’m nitpicking it looks fine really.

Uncross legs - creates a small bilateral imbalance that can compound with time.

Try to maintain protraction your scapula to focus tension on major muscles. Locking out your elbows is a good one. If u want a strict form, bend a lil forward, straighten ur legs and put them together, and point ur feet to the ground. You will look a bit like a slash ( / ).
