Even when you get the bar sitting on your clavicles (I'm sure I do, I have big red bar marks after a set) its still uncomfortable on the wrists, just from the position they're in. Back when I used to hit things semi-regularly I found that a lot of wrist strain, so maybe go with Smash's suggestion and get some wrist wraps....
