When I do lat pull downs, my deltoids get worked instead of my lats. What could be wrong with my form?

I always found concentrating in moving my elbows back (not my hands) helped

Stick your chest out a bit and imagine you are pulling the weight down with your elbows.

sounds like you just don't know how to activate your lats. I remember having that problem.

Leaning back too much possibly?
