    I'm really not even sure how much difference you can make and how much is just genetics. I've always felt like I've had a pretty big gap there that I wanted to fill in more, but I've never had any luck. If any of you had, please let me know what you felt worked best as far as exercises and any other techniques you used. Thanks.
    One other thing you might want to try is really work the brachioradialis. Building it up can help hide/minimize the appearance of short biceps insertion points.
    There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

    this is what you need to do you will never really lenghten the muscle. as your bicep grows it will fill in some of the void, but you truly will never lenghten the muscle. stretching the muscle to elongate it would create problems with your tendons. if the muscle actually gets longer what happens to the tendon? its not going to just shrink. theres certain aspects of your genetics you cannot defeat.
