How would i go about that?..

im doing chest and back together(the ABBH program)
Pull ups 5 sets of 10
Dips 5 sets of 10..

how does one warm up to something like that? im using own bodyweight for the working sets

well that's not really warming up for pull ups, it's warming up for pulldowns...try inverted rows x 1 set then do 1 - 2 low rep sets of pull ups and off you go

just do 5 sets of as mnay as you can..don;t go all out for the 1st 3 sets though or you'll bomb on the last 2...go 1 - 2 reps short of failure for the first few

yeah i mean ive been doing that, just thought maybe there was a way which could be more effective..

When ur doing pullup/dips superset, ud warm up as supersets too right?..whats the best exercise to dips to warm up?close grip bench? light weight low reps?

bench dips if anything but probably just dips

you shouldn't need a great deal of warming up if you're not adding wt to them
