Sounds like a classic saddle height and setback issue, which is causing you to lean too heavily into the handle bars. It's likely your seat post is too high, saddle too far forward, pointed down, or any combination of the above. Locking your arms for too long of a duration can also cause soreness. I recommend you bring your bike into a cycling shop and get properly fitted, where an experienced person can make the necessary adjustments, as road bikes, mountain bikes, and hybrids each have different geometry, and thus a different "fit".
