Remember, there's no reason you can't change the resistance, lower the weight, or just stop the exercise. It won't/can't do you any good if it's out of your league.
Thats what my PT says too. If it hurts, I'm doing it wrong. He gets a bit excited when I announce that I'm hurting....he throws ice or heat on me depending on the situation....
