Not target, but emphasize. If you shorten both ends of a biartucular muscle, it places it into active insufficiency. For the biceps, if you were to perform a curl with your shoulder raised, the long head would be shortened at both the proximal and distal attachments, so the short head of the biceps would be emphasized.
Similar to seated calf exercises emphasizing the soleus, the monoarticular muscle of the calf.
Oh, my mistake.
Yep, that should be done. I think I should've added to the "experiment" advice towards that-even thought about it-but my post looked too long as it was. So, tell people to experiment and they'll eventually do as you suggested, albiet unintentionally.
In fact, I used cable curls to do emphasis on a head in the past. Now I just stick to seated C curls and SDBCs.
Also, importantly, the results gained from trying to emphasize a bicep head isn't worth my time. My exercises I chose for the present are adequate.
