left knee quadriceps tendons are a acting a bit whiny. Last week i was talking to someone for 40 mins in the cold after training, a point on wich the tendons cramp up a bit, and i jumped on my bike and set power with the left leg, resulting in a bit of pain under the kneecap.
its a small inconveniance since then, but the huge load on the squat is slowing its healing. One houre ago, i spend 20mins with the knees compressed (dont ask what i was doing), and when i stood up, it started hurting a bit.
Usually a sign of a lingering quadriceps tendinitis. But since my meet is in 3 weeks, cant pussy out and lower weights now, so icepacks in the evening and anti inflammatory agents have to keep it going untill then

Like Zach said, you could very likely have bicep tendonitis. The other frequent cause of this kind of forearm pain is a pinched ulnar nerve. I've experienced first hand the excruciating nature of that one. Follow the advice Zach set out and take things a little lighter for a while, alongside anti-inflam and ice.
One of the best ways to prevent such things happening in the future is wrist/forearm conditioning and strengthening. The stretches in the videos I posted a few page back help keep the tightness out of the forearms and even upper arms. Adding some light wrist curls all three ways, can really help as well. More so as an injury prevention measure.
