Brief Answer:
Micro injury to the muscles

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

It looks like you are having micro tears of the muscles which is causing the pain. It is because you have been working harder than what your muscles are build to take and also continuing with the same intensity inspite of the pain .
Here are my suggestions

1. Reduce the intensity of the work out by 25%
2. Lift lesser weights than normal
3. Drink adequate amount of water. Dehydration worsens muscle injuring
4. avoid pain killers , apply analgesic ointments instead
5. Get a total cpk blood test done to know the amount of muscle injury

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
