    for 6 weeks was doing weights at home mostly biceps curls using dumbells etc and had not problems until 2 weeks ago when I woke up with pain in both elbows. I did not go back to any weights since as both are still as painful now as they were then.
    Should I carry on or whats caused this

    If your only training your biceps you have likely caused tightness and will eventually cause imbalances from doing only these.

    I'd be inclined to go see a physio if it continues to be sore as no one here will be able to determine what the issue is. We can only hazard a guess but without an actual assessment, it's not necessarily going to be correct.

    both elbows and each dumbell is 13kg so maybe bit heavy

    It's more than likely to be a grip issue but you need to get professional advice before you do harm.

    Alternatively, train smarter per the following tips https://www.t-nation.com/training/20-ways-to-train-smarter

    6. Perform Offset Dumbbell Curls

    Positioning the hands on the outside of the dumbbells when curling places more load on the biceps brachii by requiring greater supination torque.
    DB-Curl

    Try this: If you normally curl 60-pound dumbbells, perform 3 sets of 20 reps with just the 25 pounders with your hands on the outsides. Rest only 45 seconds between sets. This creates an insane burn in the biceps with minimal stress on the elbows and forearms.

    Twice I've had elbow issues and both have been for completely different reasons with different rehab exercises. It's not always as straightforward as you would think.

    Let a good physio program some exercises for you rather than guess and make it worse.
