I have. Elbow was sore for weeks from powerlifting. I ignored it as the weights kept going up. I was warming up and it hurt but kept going as I had a big lift scheduled. Put 355 on the bar (should have gone up easy) before maxing out. Lifted and the elbow just gave up. Weight went straight to my chest. Thank GOD for a strong spotter as he basically did a 355 bent over row without a warmup. Best thing is to leave it alone for 2 to 3 weeks.
