Handlebars

I don't know if this will help at all - and I ride only on drop bars, so your experience may be different.

I was told many years ago by someone in a bike shop that I shouldn't have a lot of weight on my hands. He told me to use my abs to help hold my upper body up rather than resting all of my weight on my hands. Using my abs allows me to control the weight on my hands (as in place more or less weight on them) and it also allows me to easily keep my arms bent rather than having them straight. (Was he right? I don't know, but it works for me!)
