Bend your elbows when you ride ... don't lock them.

Besides the excellent advice above, make sure that your saddle is not too far fowards. Often riders will move the saddle forwards because the reach to the bars is too long. But doing so puts more weight on the hands, not less. To reduce the reach you need a shorter stem or bars with less reach.

Along with the other suggestions, consider raising, or shortening (or both) the stem.
Stronger arms may also help.
