I too, have weak wrists. When I want to work my center chest and tris on a barbell, I flip my palms from out (like a normal bench press) inward so that they are facing behind me. You'll likely need a spotter because it is awkward to take off the rack, but after about 5-6 reps of medium weight, you really feel the burn! It eliminates the need to keep your wrists so close together and put strain on them.
