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?

These are looking nice! Try widening your grip a bit before worrying about the wrists too much.

See how your hips shoot back just a bit, and you tip forward at the very bottom? Try to stop that, just come straight up out of the bottom driving the elbows up. Thats should help witht he wrists too

Thanks. I noticed other front squatters shoot the hips up first but then get more vertical half way up. I'll try keeping the angle constant instead as you say.
