Forearm Burnout from Back Control

I've been working on attacking the back heavily for the past couple of years and feel like I'm decent at it. I use a lot of hand fighting methods like straight jacket to capture an arm with the legs and then RNC or some variant of collar choke or Armbar if they're trying to flee.
However, there are certain guys that I put in the back position that are stronger than me and eventually from constantly attacking my forearms burn out. They use 2 on 1 on my choking arm or grab their own collar to prevent the chokes. Eventually I give up the position because I can't finish.
Anyone have advice on preventing the burnout? I've been working on my strength with pullups and dumbbells but also wonder if there's something strategically that I may be doing wrong? Or maybe I'm gripping incorrectly because I don't experience this anywhere other than the back. Anyone overcome a similar problem?

Is your forearm burning out when you're trying to break their grips or because you are gripping them (e.g. in straight jacket when holding their hands/wrists)? I've never had forearm burnout from here, but then again I'm not the best when it comes to keeping back mount. When breaking the grips, I'm always looking for some sort of wrist locks so they will let go. When gripping their arms, I either have a monkey grip on the blade of their hand (if same side arm), or am gripping the wrist with forefinger and thumb (if gripping opposite arm).

It's kind of a combination of always attacking but I think also almost having a tight collar grip but not being able to cinch it up.
I think I'm actually winning the exchange usually, but at the cost of me eventually tiring out.
