Sounds like a superexercise. Will try that pre and post workout
EDIT: So basically, a farmer's walk is picking heavy stuff up, and walking around while paying attention to your posture?
Yep, you cannot walk wrong for long while going heavy, it will ruin you
Your body will quickly learn how to position itself to allow you to do it best

Any exercises or stretching techniques to drastically improve arm/wrist flexibility for power cleans? My wrists end up around 6 inches higher than they need to be regardless of how wide I grip the bar or how high I get my elbows.
Caporegime
Guessing tight lats for one?
Internal/external rotation; Delvis' suggestion of lat stretching (tied in with external shoulder rotation).
Not sure how the "wrist 6 inches higher" thing works irrespective of elbow positioning?
Caporegime
My wrists just seem to hover around the same height regardless of whether my elbows are pointed forward or out. My hands also slant inwards so I have to try and rotate them outwards which is a ******* on the wrists

First time trying Deadlifting. Really need your help on this. Doesn't feel right at all. I feel like im too tall and im arching my back at the end to lay the weights down. I know its only 10kg weights so it will be lower to the floor, but still.
Im ashamed of my form. Help

What are you doing with the bar (i.e. where is it)?
Wrists shouldn't really hurt unless you can't get your elbows high enough.
Can you get your humerus parallel to the floor in the front rack position?
Caporegime
Ends up around nose height. If you watch anyone press directly from a rack it's about the same height as when they unrack the bar.
Elbow height isn't a problem although the higher they go the further past my head my hands end up.
Yep, no problem
I'll ask someone to get a video of me tonight with lightish weight to give you an example of what's happening.

Hands. Can't get anywhere near my delts unless I let the bar roll out of them. To get my fingers under the bar would require my hands to be completely bent back in relation to my forearms which I can't do... unless someone else forced them down

You strong! 
My wrists would implode...
Here's a vid on front rack from forum favourite, KStar:

Tight posterior shoulders, lats and tris won't help here.

It's kind of hard to give feedback on what is effectively you squatting down too far and standing up with next to no resistance.Have you watched the videos in the OP?

My arms don't even bend back that far I don't think
