    Mass building for high insertion biceps?

    I have VERY high insertion biceps (i think that's how you say it). Basically there is a large gap between my elbow and where my bicep peaks. I realize this is genetics and there is no way to make them 'longer' per say, but I need to know if there are any good mass buidling bicep exercies that work well for high insertion biceps? I do concentration curls on incline bench/standing, EZ bar curls on preacher/standing, and medium grip chin-ups, but I wanna know what else is out there and what has worked for other people. ALSO, since I can't get that more natural, generally longer bicep look, would it be good idea (aesthetic-wise) to focus on building massive peaks?

    Im in the same boat bro. Thats a good routine, I cant think of anything else. Sorry man

    What I would do is to make sure you contract your biceps at the top and hold. Thats all I got.

    High inserted biceps have a better peak as you may already know, Incline DB curls are the GOAT bicep exercise, especially for the peak, so yeah focus on incline db curls and preacher curls, you might aswell throw in some standing DB curls in.

    If you want overall bigger arms work your triceps...they're 2/3 the mass of your arm

    I think you mean short insertion. And no, theres nothing you can really do (obviously it will get bigger, but I wouldn't expect 18s). Insertions basically dictate how far you can go as a bber. What are your tricep insertions like? I'd just worry about that more, if those are also short, then I'd just focus on getting massive forearms.
