Just a little video to show how to use straps on front squats if you don't have the wrist flexibility to do the with a clean grip. Cross armed front squats suck. :)
I have the same problem. The higher my elbows, the sharper the angle on my wrist and more painful. I have tried cross-armed many times with the Sting Ray accessory and my shoulders somehow start dropping (more loose base than with clean grip). Definitely going to switch to wrist strapped. Thanks, Stu!
OK I like to do it that way, no stress on the bent fingers. But what to do when you fail using heavier weights ? Is it easy enough to throw or drop the weight and not risking it falling down on your knees ? I wonder.

Awesome! I'm going to try this. I can't seem to keep my elbows up and my wrists get friggen sore.

@KettlebellLifter just let go of the straps and let the weight fall forward,
easy enough
