What Is the Best percentages, and set's to use for warm-up sets, and for working set's? Also how do you go about warming up for body weight exercises? For example 1 exercise I am currently working advanced are tucked front leaver rows, aiming for 3x8 to move on to the next progression, and i use 1x10 tucked front leaver rows to warm-up, im not sure if this is propper Finally Do you also need to fine you're 1rm for remedial work? Thanks For being a big brother gymnastic bodies community! :)

Percentages are really hard to define for bodyweight exercises, since the difficulty of an exercise depends on heavily on anthropometry and the like. So we don't use them when talking about intensity.
