Newbie at lifting weights and now feeling sore..?

[icarus_aus]

I don't usually lift weights. But I'm trying to build some muscle. I'm using my dad's weights.

Problem is, when I finished my arms hurt if I try to extend them straight. Otherwise I'm only comfortable keeping them bent. Its tolerable, but I'm wondering if I'm doing the weight lifting correctly.

Firstly, the soreness isn't even where my bicep is, it mainly aches at the elbow area.

Any tips would be appreciated.
Thanks guys. Well, its not exactly in the joint, like imagine your elbow, but on the other side of the arm and a bit towards the bicep.
