Rate is the speed you perform a repetition. It is usually expressed in reps per second. A rate of one rep every 2 seconds with a bicep curl would mean that you would lift up in one second and lower the weight in one second.
Working the Negative is the motion that is done when you lower the weight or load to its original starting position. As indicated above in the rate description, usually the negative lift is done at the same rate as the lift portion of the rep.
