I've noticed this too.

Perhaps try curls with an EZ bar and see if that is more comfortable on your wrists.

I've also started doing reverse close grip chins as a bicep exercise. Seems to not place much stress on the wrist.

Use an EZ bar, and do some forearm work as well.

Get stronger wrists.

Might try hammer/thumbs up DB curls. That and reverse BB curls, which are a very good exercise for the whole chain of muscle, starting with the grip to the biceps. Actually a exceptional bicep builder in it's self. Wrist strength also. Good Luck.

Get some wrist wraps or try to "warm-up" your wrists by rotating your fists.
