Unfortunately I can’t see what your wrists and forearms are doing in the video. I wanted to see them because I suspect you’re over or under gripping. That is pulling the hands and writs too far around the pole this creates a lot more strain on the arms.

Here’s are my thoughts:

Looking at the video I think you should still be doing the tap, tap option with one foot and then the other or use between the knees to help hold you. I talk about these options in the pole hold video so if you haven’t watched it thought please do. Pain on skin is normal, but pain anywhere else means a change needs to be made. All of the listed individual videos below the main player should be watched in full. Disregard this if you already have. 🙂

Scapula engagement shouldn’t affect the forearms much and I don’t see your shoulders coming high up to the ears so your scapula look good to me.

When I go to do my workout this morning I’ll take a photo of over gripping so you can see what I mean. I’ll post it here.

Have you even had pain in this area before?
