For most exercises I start with smaller weight set and then increase it. Like 8rep 40kg, 3x8rep 45kg.
For pull-ups for, i do not know what reason, I selected opposite approach 9,8,7,6.
Should I better change it to something like 6 (warm up) and then do working sets of 9, 8, 7 pull ups?
I guess this is more straightforward when doing weighted pull-ups. For bodyweight lifts I just start with my first set, no warm up. Maybe I’m wrong to do that, but it hasn’t injured me yet.
Do start with max rep sets, or a fewer-reps set?
For bodyweight pull-ups I do straight sets across, either 10x5 or 5x10 depending how I’m feeling that day. So I start with the same reps as I finish.
I do pull-ups twice a week, the other session weighted with a 531 progression. That’s working pretty well for now.
