I was doing the barbell front squats the other day and got a sharp pain in my right wrist. My left was ok. To start, I probably haven't been holding the bar completely correctly since I've been doing the front squats, anyway. My wrists aren't very flexible, especially my right one.
Anyway, I tried to let the bar go back as far as I could get it the yesterday while lifting, and was able to get it to the position where it was pretty much resting on my shoulders/chest area, like this:

So, my wrists were a little sore, no big. Hopefully I'll get used to it, but the cool thing was, I didn't feel so off-balance, like I had to lean to keep the weight even. Oh well, no big newsflash or anything. Not suprising that if you do an exercise with correct for and it becomes easier to do.
Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas or whatever you celebrate.
