Most pulldowns and rows are also working your biceps. What you explain could be a problem if your biceps are sore and your lats are not, this would mean your form is incorrect and you're overtraining your arms which are synergists and are not supposed to be prime-movers. You should also make sure you exercise through full range of motion. If you are performing your back exercises with full range of motion be sure not to hyperextend your arms (snap). You may not feel your elbow is in pain now, but repetitive stress can lead to problems such as tendinitis. The biceps (brachialis, brachioradialis) are part of your back’s muscle synergy.

Tendonitis is the inflammation of the tendons in your elbow. its a permanent condition, and it will always hurt. if there is redness, swelling, soreness, or pain in your elbow, contact your doctor. they won't be too helpful, but i would say take 2 aleeve twice a day, ice your elbows 3 times a day for 20 mins, stop working on your lower back for a bit, and buy elbow wraps so it won't hurt as much when you work out this is normal. just something thats not wanted. i’ve had this problem too, but with my wrists. by the way this sounds, you might have tendonitis.
