A friend of mine gets pain between the bicep and tricep down the outside of his arm but only when benching,he thought it was tendinitis but we are not so sure also he thought it might be from squatting but it doesn't hurt while squatting or after, anyone able to shed some light much appreciated thanks.

I've had similar, might not be much help as mine was caused by squatting, it often didn't hurt whilst squatting though. I switched to a high bar, thumbless grip, took my hands out a bit, sorted it out pretty quick. Even if he doesn't think it's squats it might be worth trying, I wasn't sure it was squatting that was doing it to me until I tested it out.

It wouldn't hurt to play with the Squat grip to see if it helps...

I get the same when low bar squatting. It doesn't hurt during or after squats, but it makes benching very painful. I manage it by doing most of my squats high bar. When I go low bar, I go thumbless. Improving upper back strength and doing lots of curls for bicep tendon strength has helped too.
