Holy hell are my wrists inflexible. Need to keep practicing this form.

Do you have flexibility issues just getting the right grip? Because I had that a long time ago, but it went away.
I have wrist problems now with this form because my posture isn't upright enough to keep the bar completely on my front delts without using my wrists to keep it there. This is either an issue with my biomechanics (ankle dorsiflexion/femur length), or simply not keeping my knees out and core stable. I'm not sure. Having inflexible triceps can cause a similar problem with the elbows dropping.
Just curious what problem you're experiencing. I guess my point is if you feel it at the top, then it's your wrists. But if it only happens at the bottom or coming up, its probably a strength/squat technique issue.
Err, all of that. My wrists feel stiff and uncomfortable in the rack position (although this is lessened as I shove the elbows up). But I tend to shift forward at the bottom of the lift, which puts even more pressure on the wrists. So I'd I need to:
1. Keep the damn elbows shoved up
2. Keep my back as vertical as possible (imagine squatting against a wall)
3. Not tilt forward in the hole
Not too suprising, I'm pretty new to this form and exercise. Same deal with power cleans. Just keep plugging away.
