I don’t see why not. I would do them after the lat pull downs.

Okay, but if I want to get better at pull ups, maybe other way around?

Can I do 1 week with lat pulldowns first and the next week the negatives first?

I was thinking of doing 3 pull ups and fill the rest of the sit with 7 negative pull ups for 3 total sets and then move on to lat pulldowns.

The next week start with lat pulldowns and only do negative pull ups?

Personally, I think you’re making things too complicated at this point. If you are just starting out you don’t need to add periodization. That’s for when you are really pushing heavy weights or doing things you cannot recover from quickly.
