Up until today's change in routine, the more reliable approach you describe would have had to involve me turning myself into a literal masochist, which carries certain issues of its own. Fortunately, memoridem's suggestion seems to have greatly reduced the amount of pain involved.
I basically did turn myself into a masochist (not for this reason) and I still can't enjoy the pain of exercise. It's qualitatively different and distinctly worse than things like eating hot peppers or being flogged.
I can't remark about flogging, but I can agree that pre-modification of my routine, I'd have been happy to eat some of the hotter peppers I recall if that was the price of skipping that day's push-ups and planks.
