Sounds like you got lateral epicondylitis also known as tennis elbow or golfer's elbow.
Yep, this is it. The picture in your link is exactly where the pain is at the moment.
question: will heavy deadlifts contribute to this condition because of the downward force that's being exerted on those tendons?

You are likely doing entirely too much volume....focus heavy on the big major lifts and stop doing 86 sets of bicep and triceps excersises.

You're gonna wanna stock up on ice-e-hot.
Apply liberally and train through the pain. Wendler style.
Don't try to rest it or let it "repair" in time. It's being a little bitch, treat it like a bitch.
Don't fall off schedule.

I don't know if it's the isolated work in and of itself. If I'm doing arms, I'd probably hit 3, maybe 4, exercises each for biceps/triceps.
I'm thinking what really puts the pressure on it is bent over barbell rows and lat pulldowns, plus the isolated, is just overuse.. Dammit.

Overuse is a very likely cause. It a main contributer in my case. Doesn't matter the split. Arms are used everyday - even to load plates for squats.
Use sleeves, wrist wraps, icee hot and lots of warm ups. I starting using my straps again for back to take some of the pressure off my grip. Deadlifts have been put on hold but I'll start them again next week. Chest only consists of fly movements and maybe some light hammer strength presses if it doesn't hurt - all with wrist wraps and elbow sleeve.

Thanks for the legit responses, surprising for the OT
No problem, even though I'm very much into lifting, I usually stay away from these threads due to the bullshite that gets thrown around. This being a major issue for me, I had to jump in.
Tips: put a rubber band around finger nails and extend and close fingers -it's great for tennis elbow
Put your palm flat on wall, out to your side, and tilt head away from wall (towards opposite shoulder). Do the same with the outside of your hand on the wall
Make a circle with your thumb and pointer finger. Flip circle fingers over your eye as if you are looking through from the palm side (elbow up)
Those are great stretches for the nerves in the arm

Whoever said it was from repetitive use of things like using a computer mouse is right on. I've had it bad for almost a year- I can't even pick up a dumbbell without searing pain. Self-myofascial massage (see video in attached link) has worked wonders and the pain is finally subsiding.

I hurt mine a couple of years ago doing too much weight on tricep extensions. It still gives me some pain, but I'm going to start to wear a compression sleeve and see if that will help.
Does anybody know of some good stretch bands? I need to stretch my feet better to relieve some pain in my heel and arches.

I don't have bands but a towel works just as well. If not, Walmart or academy will sell the stretching bands I'm sure

I was hoping to get something on Amazon. I need to stretch right when I wake up. I'll try the towel for now.

Amazon has everything. Google different brands and find them on Amazon.

Tiger Balm the shite out of it.
Why is he elevating it?
Rest and Ice/heat alternation helps bloodflow to the region.

I have had tendinitis in my wrists/elbows for almost 20 years. Here is what I have learned.
It most likely isn't caused by lifting. No reasonable person lifts enough weights to get tendinitis. With that said, lifting weights can definitely cause injuries that feel like tendinitis (strained tendons, pulled muscles etc.). Make sure that you are warming up properly and cooling down properly.
The root cause is probably in your regular life. Are you a high volume computer user? If so, make sure you have a "natural" split finger keyboard and your hands/elbows/shoulders are properly supported.
Do you use a computer mouse a lot. Make sure you have one that is big enough to fit your hand comfortably.
Do you drive long distances? If so, make sure your drivers seat is properly positioned to make sure you aren't "over" or "under" reaching it.
Look for other things that you do outside the gym that could cause the pain. When it flares up, RICE helps too
just wanted to reiterate that this is excellent advice.
