Weeks 7 & 8, negatives?

I have finished six weeks of the program and I am unsure what to do the last two weeks. In the FAQ it says negatives but it only shows 1 workout. So do I do negatives for 1 workout or set them up like the other RM's and do them for 2 weeks?
 
Personally I don't do negatives. For my next cycle, I was planning on just continually incrementing the weight and once I exceed my new 5rm (in other words I hit failure) do a 2 or 3 rep scheme and continue incrementing the weight for the next two weeks. I'd be interested to hear what others do.
 
I used to do them significantly, and they are an excellent addition. Relevant exercises you can do negatives for without a spotter:

- Weighted chins/pulls w/a step/stool. Same goes for dips.
- Smith machine shoulder/incline press (squat it back up).
- Leg press/curl/extension and calf raises; one leg down (negative), two legs up.
