Short biceps

[Ox 51]

I have very short biceps and need exercises to stretch them. If you hold your arm straight out in front of you with your palm down, you will probably see that your bicep starts around that crease inside your elbow. Mine start about an inch higher up. Also, if you flex your bicep, most times it reaches to your forearm. Mine have about an inch between my forearm and bicep, as you can see on my pics in the "Gun Show Thread".

I've been doing preacher curls and incline dumbbell curls to try to stretch them, but they aren't helping much. Any advice?

Kind of sounds like genetics. One stretch I use that really stretches them I got from DC training. You can use a bar or anything
you can grab around shoulder ht. or a little lower. Stand with your back to bar and raise your arms from your side to behind you.
grab bar with palms down and stretch. Lower your body for more stretch. It really stretches the hell out of bi's. I try to hold for
60 secs. (hope this makes sense)

I tried this and I physically wasnt capable. Ox if I were you, I would work with the peak! Short biceps look impressive and usually have a better peak.

That's why mine look bigger than they really are, I have short arms
