Try and grip the bar without wrapping your thumb around it. What I mean is to keep your thumbs lined up with the rest of your fingers when gripping the bar. This will help eliminate some of your biceps use.
Another thing you can try is to do static holds. Here's a few examples:
-Lat Pulldown Machine: Grab the bar with a wide grip. Lean backwards and pull the bar approx. 4-6 inches in towards you and hold it for 20-30 seconds.
-Cable rows: Same thing. Pull the bar into you about 4-6 inches and hold. You must concentrate on flexing your back muscles to hold it, not your arms.
Another method is to do pulses. These are similiar to statics, with the exception of your range of motion being those 4-6 inches when you execute your reps. All you're doing for reps is using that 6 inch range. It's a little hard to explain.
