Theres not really much but you can fopcus on preacher curls b/c they stress the lower portion of the bicep.

Hammer Curls... they will work that area better than anything.

Spider curls is a great isolation exercise.
You lay on a bench (I used a table), with your arms over the front and pressed against the edge of the bench/table. Then you just curl the barbell. If you go to, http://www.larryscott.com/ , then click on equipement, you can see a pic of a spider curl bench.

I'd like to have just a little shorter bi's... my bi's go all the way down to my forearms. Which doesn't do much for peak and it doesn't look that good either.

SWEET!! I've never seen one of those before, looks like a good substitute for preacher curls. Sometimes I lose my wind because I push my chest up against the "pulpit" when doing preacher curls.

Imagine a catholic priest on the other side of the "pulpit", that should keep you from getting too close

try doing your reps with a fuller of a range of motion but still keeping the resistancen if that doesn't work, then it short bi's might be something genetic.

Yes, it's kind of like a preacher curl. Except you are laying down which gives you a greater range of motion. Because your arms are hanging straight down, when you start to curl the bar, alot of tension is put on the lower portion of the biceps.

try doing a lot of reverse curls it's one of the best way 2 lengthen the biceps.
also try partial reps. 4 example do 3 sets of curls where you only bring the weight half way up so your arms are at a right angle and do the whole set this way.

The bigger your arms get the less noticable that gap will be.

I have the spread out kind, which makes them look a lil fuller, but in the long run, I think the peaked type like u have are the best, urs looks fine by the way
