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?

Increase the first set first and do 8 reps for as many sets as you can after that until you can do all of them. Then you start over with 9 reps.
