All that crap about no pain no gain is bunk and has been for a while. Pain means STOP! you are doing something wrong, or too much of it, or your form is off, or it's too late and you are injured. Only certain levels of pain should ever be tolerated...think Lance Armstrong and the incredible lactic acid pain on the last leg of the Tour De France. Pain like that is temporary and can be dealt with, but injuries cause delay and decrease performance.
