I would see an orthopedist ASAP. I recently ruptured my biceps tendon (lifting a lot less weight than you, btw) so I've been down this road. If you're still feeling pain, it may only be a partial tear which leaves some of the nerve still connected. That was the case with mine.
With potential tendon injuries you want to act pretty quickly to get it diagnosed because the longer you wait, the more difficult it becomes to get you back to 100% because scar tissue starts to form. I was told with my injury that if I waited longer than 4 weeks to get the surgery done, they might have had to take a graft from my achilles tendon to make the repair. Since I acted within 10 days, that wasn't necessary. Your doc may order an MRI to aid in making a diagnosis.
Good luck !
