The negs can really get you. I'd start by doing as many pullups as you can in three sets with good rest periods of time and then after the last set do as many negs as you can after that for one set. See how that affects you and use that to judge the next pullup workout. Also, of course, try to control the negatives as much as possible on the normal reps. And I'd do the negs for only the second pullup workout the first week in case you get so sore it would negatively affect the second pullup workout (it probably wouldn't).

This all has to do with strength development, btw, and I am not talking about TUT our bodybuilding stuff like that, in case anybody is wondering.

BTW, I had assumed your pullup bar was too high but if it's low enough or if you can set it up for this then you can use some foot drive to do the extra work instead of climbing up on something. Basically you would push off with the feet but ONLY as much as needed to complete a rep. Then you would do a slow controlled negative. So this is sort of like doing forced reps. Only after you've done as much as you can the regular way. Normally I wouldn't advocate forced reps but pullups are different especially since it's difficult to change the resistance without making the exercise a little different.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
