Preacher curls increase bicep length.

Im not postitive on this one, but some experts argue that they can be lenghtened, and some argue that they can;'t.

You can't actually lengthen your biceps as its determined by tendon length (you can't grow your tendons to any great degree) which comes from genetics, BUT you can fill in the biceps as low as possible to help create the visual impression of it being longer. Don't forget your forearms will help to do this too.

i find 2 things hit that area - preacher curls and a good back workout. im not sure what part of the back workout, maybe the chins probably the rows but that's why doing bis and back together is a good thing.

precisely, do hammercurls as they train both biceps & forearms.Originally posted by chimponarope

Everyone has a gap between their biceps and elbows. it's genetic also, some peopel are born for high peaked biceps so they have short biceps.
And some peopel are born for long full muscle bellies.
I don't think you can really do anything about "lengthening" your biceps.

Superset genetics with luck, that's what I'd recommend for full arm developement.

no kidding
you can't change the shape of a muscle. period.
working the brachialis may help if you're really neglecting it, but otherwise you're screwed. reverse curls and hammers to work the brachialis.

Try working your forarms.
I don't think you can accually get clear of the gap,just give the impression that its gone(by workin the forarms)

Does a short bicep automatically mean a high peak? Cause I have high biceps and a really good peak. Also, since their is not one clear answer on whather the bicep can be lengthend or not, I will look into it.

I have long full biceps and my peaks are far above average. And Mark I have seen plenty of people with high biceps that hardly have any peak.

im pretty sure the gap youre referring to is the tendon connecting elbow to bicep,being a tendon it cannot be increased but working the forearms and bis will give a diminished appearance
