Where is the soreness? Is it in your muscles or joints? Does it feel more like a cramp or arthritis? The latter is going to be a more hollow feeling.

If the former pair it's probably fine, your body just isn't used to the exercise. If you can safely push more without sacrificing form, go for it.

If it's the latter, which it sounds like it is, it's almost certainly a result of poor form unless you have a history of knee issues. I would focus on trying to improve form first, because if you push it too much you're going to hurt yourself.

Trust me I do this shit with bench press constantly. Have to refocus my form periodically because I start getting greedy and start straining my joints. If you keep pushing forward you're not only going to risk injury, but you'll be reinforcing and exaggerating those poor habits as you struggle with the weight.
