If you aren't squatting and deadlifting.. you should be. That's about all the help I can offer.

Eat more and squat, deadlift, push and pull - all heavy.  Your biceps will get huge.

Doing compound movements, such as those listed, cause more body involvement and therefore release more GH to accomidate for the increased workload.  The hormones do not only trigger the working muscles to get larger, but moreso the entire body.  These compound movements also cause alot of stress to the CNS and make the body supply more motor units for muscular work.

If you don't want the rest of your body to get stronger and bigger you should probably just do more curls. However, if you don't mind getting bigger and stronger all over, optimum gave a pretty good explanation of how squats and deads will help your biceps grow.

you could take every supplement money can buy? Oh... wait... I see you already do that. I guess im stumped!

Seriously tho get rid of curls and do pullups. Squats wouldnt hurt either.
