Standing Nilsson Curls

Here’s one you may have never seen before — the standing Nilsson Curl. It uses your bodyweight, with your arms braced against a barbell, to do what at first appears to be a chin-up.
But it’s all biceps! The beauty of the standing version is that you can spot yourself (i.e., lift with your legs) to get in enough reps. In fact, this is the version I suggest you use at first because you may not be able to get in even one rep at first with the “standard” Nilsson curls!
Check the video of Nick himself performing the exercise. It’s really good stuff.

Hadn’t heard of the Nilsson Curls until I saw this, but I’ll have to try it next time I get to the gym. It’s definitely one of those exercises that others will look at you and be like, “that guy has no idea what he’s doing” – meanwhile, the person doing the curls is probably getting a way better workout than the idiot saying that.
Ooh! That looks unpleasant! I like it! I’ll have to give those a shot this week. Im a big fan of chinups for biceps as it is, these just look like you can add just the right amount of tension to keep the “fun” going.

This is much more effective if you lean backwards and take the full weight of your body at an angle.

I’m not really sure about working out my biceps. And I’m not really a gym buddy but I really need to work out nowadays. I’ll try this later. Thanks!

It looks great. And God knows, I need in such activity. But is it safety tested? Because it seemed to me from the video film that he need to be careful not to hurt the back.

Great exercise, I think it’s not only good for biceps but it’s effective for thighs & abs too. It’s a bit too hard for me but i will give a try. It’s all about good your physical looks.
Good video to show what to do. I gave a go at the gym today and my back did hurt a bit so I think you need to be careful and get a personal trainer or someone at gym to check your method is right.
