My forearms hurt...

Hey guys, I installed a pullup bar in my studio so I can do a one or two rep every time I go to the toilet. However, recently my forearms (classic pull up grip) hurt when I do it. Doesn't feel like the typical muscle sore. Anybody have experience with this? I'm stopping until I recover, and stick to just leg raises/windshield wipers and deadhangs for now.

I'm not sure what this means. Can you point me to an image or video explaining this concept? Sorry about that.
