Both are important but I'm pretty sure triceps might be more so.

run.... faster.

I would work on your 'row' and pull turn phase. i think your left arm could be stronger on your takeoff, but your chest drive is pretty good. after your takeoff you sat on the pole and you can see your butt sink if you watch closely. it looks to me like you jumped and tried to hug the pole to force ...

jump up and punch your arms straight up, then try and throw the pole in front of you after you takeoff. it's more something you feel.

I'm no coach so don't take this seriously, and I'm probably dead wrong, but right before you extend it looks like you tuck your knees into your chest which stops your upward movement.

The pit is super close to the stands, and like 20 poles laying in the grass next to the pit doesn't look too safe.
