Probably more true to say: "no discomfort, no gain"
Really, if what you're doing is physically painful, then it is a good time to stop. That is the whole point of pain, to let you know that you're being damaged.
You should be prepared to feel uncomfortable however, as you push yourself to lift things heavier than before, do more reps than before etc.
It shouldn't be a cakewalk, you should feel some kind of discomfort to be sure that you're progressing... but you shouldn't be in agony throughout your whole session.
When I deadlift... it is fucking hard work. It is very uncomfortable to try and drag a huge new weight up off of the floor... but it is never painful.
