The ONE thing that really helps me is taking my pinkies out from under the bar. So I just have 3 fingers under the bar when it's on my delts, and that seems to do just fine. The muscle(s) on the underside of my forearm close to my wrist are a little sore afterward (from being stretched), but it goes away in 2-3 seconds after my set. And, I figure that this is the first time I've done front squats in months so it's no surprise my forearms are like "WTF are you doing?" They'll get used to it, just like our other muscles do.

That was key for me, the pinky. Widening my grip just a little bit to compensate for my long arms was also very helpful, but I didn't have to widen it very much. Give it a whirl & see how it goes
