Same here. I give the pitcher two throws, then I take two throws each from both sides. I let the catcher know I'm back there. After the second pitch from the second side, I tell the catcher he's got two more.
I only do this with the starters in the first inning. It's a way for me to observe their movements and for me to get ready for the game.
