more back less bicep
I was watching a Bob Chicerello dvd, and he was explaining that if you use your whole hand when gripping the bar it will incorporate the bicep. If you use your first 2 fingers and use a strap as much as possible it greatly reduces the bicep involvement.
Hope this helps.

on the seated trows, sure you have perfect posture, or you end up with more of a bicep pull when you lean back. Which also implies that you stay modest with the weight. Going too heavy promotes terrible form. Use that mirror

Just curious, why would you not want to involve your bi's in a back workout? For me it seems that using my biceps as a secondary muscle w/back workouts first then doing bicep focus exercises in the same workout helps my bi's...
