Does anyone else feel that CG benchpress hurt your wrists?

I dont really do them, but CG Benching hurts my wrists ive only tried them one time, and also Barbell curls hurt your wrists slightly to, I think a EZ curl bar would help in that area, but yeah i was just wondering if maybe its my form

More than likely you're placing your hands too close together. I place my hands just inside my shoulders for CG's. My hands are about 7''-8'' apart.

I have to use an EZ Bar for them too.

I twisted my wrist doing those a week or two before Xmas. I still hurt.
