Pull-up: start from max or from a "warm-up"? (feddit.de)

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 do the same thing - there is a lot of diminishing return, set-to-set for me so it’s the only way that makes sense. I do inverted rows, dead hangs and arm circles to warm them up.
