I thought wide grip was for mass and close grip was for the peak?

hammer curls really focus on the outer biceps. I have been using the Hammer curl for a while and i see a ton of progress from it. I do suggest using atleast 2 different biceps exercises since it will focus on certin spots on your arms.

wider grip works the short head and narrower grip would work more the brachialis

When I was 16, I had no peak at all. I would start with straight bar curls, and go very heavy (push yourself 2-3 reps past failure with good form and someone spotting you to really get deep in there). Then I would go to single arm dumbell curls, 4 sets 10 reps, 8, reps, 6, reps, 6 reps. Then 1arm dumbell preacher concentration curls. At the and I used to bang out heavy heavy dumbell hammer curls (not so strict form).

Per Arnold "The Man" Schwarzenegger, the best way to work on your biceps eak is CONCENTRATION CURLS. Make sure when you do concentrations, you DO NOT rest your elbow on your knee. Rather, hunch over like Arnold used to and let your arm hang perpendicular to the floor. Also, when you curl the dumbbell, turn your wrist so your pinky finger is higher than your thumb at the top of the movement.

Sorry to burst your bubble but peak is genetic you either have it or you don't no amount of training will give you a peak if you don't have it. Just like having a short bicep with a high peak you will never get a full bicep. It is all genetic anyone else think other wise you are in for a rude awaking, training and waiting for a peak.

i believe you can improve the peak, the peak mostly consists of the brachialus muscle, work that and it should help
