when i do this i bend my wrists back so my arms stay in close to my body

is this necessary or can i let my arms bend out it puts alot of stress on my wrists the way i do it which i guess could be good unless its bad with so much weight

if it's hurting your wrists too much, you can try switching to a cambered bar.
Ya might also wanna drop the weight a little

You're using arms and wrists as synonyms. I have no idea what you're asking at the moment.

pain = bad
bending wrists = bad
flaring elbows out = bad
arms close = good

What does bending your wrists back have to do with keeping your arms close to your body? You should be able to keep a neutral wrist position while you benc regardless of the positioning of your shoulder joints.
