I eat even more during the winter months!
Routine looks like this at the moment -
Mon - Shoulders and bi's or tri's (rotate bi's and tri's here weekly thus hitting them twice every other week)
Tues - Legs and calves
Weds - Rest
Thurs - Chest, tri's and calve's
Fri - Back and Bi's
Train weights in the evenings
and 45mins cardio done on my spin bike at home in the mornings.

Basically if its a week where we are training biceps twice then the first bicep workout with shoulders will contain heavy compound movements such as barbells curls etc etc as the biceps will be relatively fresh.
The second bicep workout with back will contain lots of shaping/peak movements such as preacher curls, concentrations curls etc etc as the biceps will be pre-exhausted from the back workout.
Same the following week when its double triceps, Shoulders and tri's will have a lot of cable triceps movements etc & then the chest and tri workout will have some heavt tri movements like close grip bench and skull crushers etc etc

Why though? 
I know the genetics of the individual plays a huge part in deciding what size and shapes you will get but I dont believe for 1 minute you cannot use various exercises and techniques to force a bigger peak or more shape out of your biceps.
IF you can't then why can I think of at least 10 different variations of a bicep curl, must be a reason for all these different variations?

We can chat about this without the silly smilies can't we? Please.Basically you've answered your own question. The shape your muscle takes is down to genetics. Sadly you cannot shape the peak of the bicep by changing the routine. The reason you do different exercises is to hit them all over or to place the resistance on them in different ways. However....
Could you name me one exercise that hits the peak of the bicep only?
I personlly don't believe in your theory, a view that is shared by many others, but I am happy to chat about it and learn something new.

Most shy away from legs because they are hard and draining. A decent leg session will see you close to throwing up or passing out. Followed by not being able to walk without looking like you've shit yourself or being able to negotiate stairs without grimmacing.
You need to endure a proper leg session and then make your mind up. I mean that in the nicest way possible, not slating what your doing.

I hear what your saying and do agree that genetic's play a massive part. I just believe that can force your biceps to grow (as much as your genetics allow) bigger and wider through using various exercises and techniques.
I find that strict concentration curls and strict single arm preacher curls on an slightly inclined upright bench really allow for a good peak contraction.
Like you say, some people agree, some dont, although this method of training seems to be working for me at the moment so I'm sticking at it until I plateau

Hard work, challenging, tiring etc etc are all words to describe training legs. Boring isn't one of them.

Collapsed many a time after placing that barbell on the squat rack!
I think we should set up a passionford gym meet!

I agree that you can probably slightly isolate one of the heads of the bicep more over the other by varying exercises but I don't think that you can grow a peak. Its genetic imho and dependant on the length of them and other factors. You can also force muscles to grow, just not manipulate in a certain way. Getting them bigger will empasise the peak if you have one but then others have wide/thick arms.
I think you are lucky in that your bi's peak so are growing in that way. If you had flat thick bi's I dont believe that your method of training them would change that. Would be interesting to hear a pro's take on that theory. Could they build big arms and then sculpt them to a shape?
If its working, then as you say, keep it going.

You also can't get a decent gauge of someones size from a pic. The camera does lie.
