Did I do the bicep curls wrong, I feel the soreness on the inside of my elbows ?!
Question: It's suppose to be felt directly on the bicep, and not all the way down to the inside of the elbows, right ?
Or is that going to give me strength, to start lifting it in a better form, hitting my bicep muscle ?

You bicep muscle runs all the way down to the inside of you elbow. This is good to work out the entire muscle. If you want you can try a preacher curl, or a dumbell curl with your elbow resting on your inner thigh to isolate the bicep. Just remember if you are doing a standing curl to stand with your feet about a foot apart forward and back and to NOT rock when you lift. Concentrate on the muscle and use just your bicep to lift the weight. If you cannot lift without using your lower back, STOP and take off the weight. You WILL hurt yourself if you lift that way. Also keep in mind that the tricep is more than half of the total mass of your upper arm, and working that muscle out equally will increase the overall size of your arm.
First you have to warm-up before you exercise and start with low weights.
DJ,
When you begin lifting start out with small wts and build up. The soreness comes from concentrated levels of lactic acid.
Less reps with more wts build the muscle but, start with a lighter weight and rest a day in between. Then gradually increase the wieght.
