No you absolute Jackwagon. Negative reinforcement is ineffective compared to positive reinforcement in animals and studies later showed in humans.
What you might be thinking of as negative reinforcement "give me another pushup you piece of shit" is actually positive reinforcement.
Whereas an actual negative reinforcement, would be "I can't believe you just ate that you fat piece of shit"
The first reinforces a positive action, the second scolds a negative action. Just think about it, which of those two examples would help you reach your diet and workout goals?
