With mechanical intervention yes but not simply by trying to contract it too much. This is thanks to a structure called the gollgi tendon organ within muscles that detect the ammount of tension on the muscle and if it is too great the organ will simpley send information on a reflex arc that will stop the muscle contraction and drop whatever is being lifted. This is protective so that the muscle cant be over strained.
