How do you get the most out of the short time you spend at the gym? Most people have only an hour or so for exercise, but want to maximize muscle and strength gains and minimize body fat. Weight training or cardio alone won't do the job. You must do both. The age-old question of whether to do cardio or weights first has been bouncing around gyms for years.

How did the term "pythons" get lost from our collective bodybuilding vocabulary? Those of you old enough to remember Hulk Hogan in his Wrestlemania heyday recall how in his interviews, he would flex his ridiculously tanned arms, slathered and glistening in baby oil, shouting about his "24-inch pythons, brother!" I don't know about you, but those over-the-top histrionics motivated the hell out of me to go run and do some curls with the chrome EZ-curl bar in my basement in hopes of having pythons like the Hulkster.

 I’m dieting for my first contest and it’s eight weeks away. I’m six feet tall and 225 pounds and based on how much fat I’m carrying, I should come in around 210 or so. It’s a natural show, so I’m not worried about being too skinny. A few people tell me I’m eating too many carbs. On training days, I eat about 500 grams in the form of oatmeal, rice and sweet potatoes and on non-training days, I still get at least 300 grams. A few guys at my gym who’ve been competing for years try to tell me there’s no way I’ll be able to get into proper condition...

 Dear Dexter, I need help with my triceps. My biceps are fine, but triceps are just not there. Here’s the routine I’ve been using:
Cable pushdowns
Dumbbell kickbacks
One-arm cable pushdowns
I do five sets of each exercise, 10 to 12 reps. I hit them right after biceps, twice a week. How can I get my triceps to pop when I’m standing relaxed, just like yours?

 I was at the Wildcard Showdown and I can’t tell you how impressed I was with your awesome conditioning. But I’m even more impressed with the improvements you’ve made since you turned pro less than three years ago. After reading your profile in MD, I’m very interested in the DoggCrap (DC) training style you use. I’m also wondering, if it’s worked so well for you, why haven’t more bodybuilders embraced it? Do you think it’s okay for everybody, or does it take a certain body or personality type to really blow up from it?

 I know you’ve been using a lot of machines for your chest training because it’s easier on your elbows. I’ve only been training for a few years and don’t have any elbow pain yet, but I’m wondering if maybe I should be using mostly machines to avoid having problems in the future. Or am I being ridiculous?
