Also, I used to lift. Many times, I wished I would have bailed on an ineffective workout rather than push through. If I'm not feeling right, I'm prone to getting injured. I will not work out with a trainer again for this reason. I want a strict routine, doing the same build up every time will allow me both to refine in the direction of greater comfort, and to allow me to sense when something's off.
My lifting strategy is to take it very slowly, do not worry a single bit about making gains on any particular day. Injury is to be ruthlessly stamped out through borderline excessive caution and getting to know your body very, very well. I would rather skip a whole month of lifting than get a single injury, no matter how minor.
In fact, I'd rather not lift at all than have more than the remotest possibility of a lifting injury. That shit just sucks way, way too much. Once the weight on the bar gets heavy, I want to take exactly zero chances. When I get back on that particular horse, I want to still be doing it when I'm eighty years old.
