Ever since I started doing front squats, my wrists seem to have become weaker when i bench and do other exercises. This is primarily because when i hold the bar on my shoulders (front delts), hands are bent all the way back to hold the bar.... is this supposed to be happening, or can someone show me another way to hold the bar?

You dont need a full grip on the bar. Just try balancing it with your first two fingers of each hand. It will stay there if you keep your elbows up and wont cause you any pain. The flexibility will come.
"To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other."-- Carlos Castaneda

I only seem like I know what I'm talking about, because I only talk about things that I know about.
"One farmer says to me: 'You cannot live on vegetable foods solely, for it furnishes nothing to make bones with,' walking all the while he talks behind his oxen, who with vegetable made bones jerk him and his lumbering plow along in spite of every obstacle."
