Fix.

Do some shoulder and wrist mobility work, I had the same problem, but now I'm able to keep my elbows up. Also, I've seem some lifters using wrist wraps on YouTube, seems to be a good idea.

Watch this. It's very relevant to the type of problems you're describing.

Do zercher squats

fuck off

are you resting the bar on your delts and neck? if elbows point down then it seems like the weight resting on your hands instead. vid related

But if I rest the bar on my delts and neck, I lose the contact bar-hand. But I think I know what to do. I'll use straps to do the front squat when I need it. At least until I fix the form.

Thanks for everyone.

Wait, you're going to force the bar to rest on your arms instead of fixing your shit? That seems like an express ticket to Snap City. If you intend to front squat while not having the required flexibility to, do a cross grip instead. I do not see any way straps could benefit you in a front squat.

Z E R C H E R S Q U A T S Don't be stupid and try a 1rm with it, challenging yourself with reps in ranges of 5 to 10 is fine, but you should be confident about it, the initial pain is normal, rest the bar on the crook of your elbows, not in the biceps, good luck if you're thinking about it, it's like a retarded front squat but it works, with a squat rack is even safer

>>84635

I'll try this too.
