Wrist pull ups?

Timed hangs with a false grip is a good place to start. Once you can do a simple deadhang for awhile the pull up will come on its own. Also good for working a slow ring muscle up.

Yeah but what if you can't even hang with a false grip?

Progress using the same offset methods people use for one arm pull ups. Hang from the bar with one hand normal and then one hand in a false grip. The way this progresses difficulty over time is by removing fingers from the normal hand, so false grip plus full hand, then false grip and just your fingers with no thumb, false grip and 3 fingers etc until you are down to 1 or 2 fingers and then you'll be almost there. Of course do this on each side to build symmetrical strength.

@Climber028 Yeah I just tried these... and the were a little too difficult on my forearm flexors. I could only hold it for like 1/2 second. Maybe I'll just work with a lat pulldown for a while.

Well at this moment you would only do the first one, one normal hand and then one false grip hand. If that's too hard then I would work up to a basic one handed bar hang for time, 30 seconds is a good minimum. It would takes weeks/months to start subtracting fingers this is long term progression not stuff to try in a single workout
