Too much weight possibly

Your muscles can handle the weight but your tendons and ligaments cannot. Lighten weight or start doing other tricep stuff too like overhead tricep lift (with light weight). If you don't strengthen the tendons you risk injury/ tears later on. Pain is a warning

Tricep tendinitis. Generally just an overuse, too high weight, or not enough rest for your triceps
