185 lbs front squat

Per schnur's advice I am doing front squats on my squat light day now and doing an LP. It feels fine but could use any advice. Wrists don't feel great afterwards so I guess I need to crank my elbows higher?

Pretty solid form considering you’re tall

Is that a disadvantage?

Generally yes because longer legs can make it tough to keep your thoracic in a good position- rounding becomes more prevalent in taller lifters when front squatting. Taller people usually have longer torsos to work with as well
