On friday night I had to hold someone back as a fight was being broke up - probably to the point of maximum exertion. I was holding on as tight as I could with my arms wrapped around them. Since then my biceps and inner elbows have hurt like hell. Now the right one is more or less back to normal, but still having problems with the left. Training my chest yesterday seemed to aggravate it somewhat...even through the biceps weren't the prime movers in any of the exercises I performed. Example: doing Incline Dumbell Press, I could push as hard as I could and not really feel a thing, but when it came to actually getting the dumbells to the start position, that's when it hurt.

After I finished training, my left arm hurt and was shaking. Took Paracetomol and that seemed to do the job. Any ideas what I've done - strained the muscle, perhaps, or is this something to do with ligaments? Feels OK this morning.

rice - rest ice comppression and elevation

you've pushed past your ability. Start imcorporating more synatptic facilitation training and olympic lifts into your training to strengthen the ligaments and tendons

Clean and jerk, etc...?

Go to a good sports physiotherapist. They understand joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments.

You've probably just strained over exerted the muscle and ChefX is right, ice and elevation. Rest for a few days will probably fix it. Take ibuprofen as it is an anti inflamatory as well as pain killer so it can help any damage to heal.

If it isn't right in 2 / 3 days, definitely do the physiotherepist. My experience of GP's is that they know f* all about sports injuries, but you might be lucky with yours.
