Yes, the F bar chord is extremely difficult one to master and your hand and wrist need a lot of strength to acheive this. I struggled with this so I started of with the mini F bar chord, which was still a bit of struggle for me as I have quite small hands, but I've just about mastered it now. I think if you're struggling with full bar chords, then look for mini versions first and work your way up over time. I'm also going to purchase a hand exerciser soon which I'll use to strengthen my wrist and tendons, something else I'd recommend too as you don't want to cause permanent damage to your wrist.
