Default Negative chin up ?

Hi Everyone,
So I started stage 6 today and I have a question on the neg. chin up. I understand once I can get to 20 sec that I should add weight. At what point do you just go ahead and do chin ups?

I am thinking that that isn't the point, that we are to just keep doing the exercise as prescribed. But at the same time we are trying to gain strength to do chins, right?

if you can do a chin, do it.
it's assuming that you can't, and that being able to is your goal.
if you can, you could do it chin up and then the negative, rather than jumping up.
it's only 1 rep, so by continuing the negative with weight you'd generally be able to increase the number or weight of your chinups... same as if you couldn't do them yet.
