Hey Duncan , ok the main problem is that you are "braking" the negative, you should let the body to swing a bit under the bar..

the main goal on the first part is holding the chest open, do not bend at the kness, bend the elbows and push them backward, think aboout pullyourself down under the bar,,,the main mistake is letting your self falling forward, the biceps , shoulders and chest will help you. you can wrap a band that passes in front if your hips so that you can reduce the intensity.

What unlocked the skill for me was to lean forward. 

Basically on the descent i lean forward, like in a planche lean, instead of thinking of moving vertically.
