Paul DILLETT's epic back!

[Nether Animal]

Maybe he couldn't train it properly cuz of his bad shoulders?

[Coffeed]

Lazy trainer.

Generation nothingness.

[ritch]

I think had Paul had Jodie Miller in his corner, he would be 15x Mr O b now.

First pic is 2006 comeback.

Second two are him at his supposed "best." But it really was because post-97ish Dillett is garbage.

[WOOO]

Glutes not striated. Ronnie is not impressed.

[Parker]

Back is wider in the FDB pose than in the RL pose.

[SuperTed]

I doubt it had anything to do with the way he trained it, his back was just a genetically weak. Nothing much can be done.

[oldschoolfan]

man if paul could have got his back in, he would have been unbeatable , from the front he was a fucking animal.


guy was a  super responder to drugs thats for sure, cause he trained like  a pussy

If you ever watched vids of him train, especially back (like lat pulldowns) he would just pull the weight down real fast, with no squeeze---just up and down. Also, his back would "open up" in the FDB pose or variation of that, but not when doing a FLS or RLS pose. So, it tells you something about his training and posing.

How people train tends to be unique to them. Dillett's workouts were famous for being uninspired and he would have trained his back in a similar way he would have trained other body parts. However, while those other parts responded superbly, his back remained stagnant. That's a clear sign of a genetic issue.

He obviously would have been aware that his back was holding him back so I'm sure he would have tried different routines, exercises, rep ranges...etc to trigger a response but it remained a weakness.

Problem is, you can't necessarily train back like other bodyparts. Just look at how Bertil Fox trained. He was completely two different bodybuilders, one from the front, and one from the back. His odd training didn't work that well from the front.

And  are really sure you think he would have tried different routines? The man couldn't pose for the life of him. That takes practice. And it seem like he didn't do that. he didn't care. Plus, he had shoulder injuries.

[Rambone]

Poor poser, poor training habits, and insane genetics. What a waste. I heard he was a good poser outside of contests, but when he would step on stage, he'd just freeze up.

[Nether Animal]

With a little more thickness, and opening up both sides in a proportionate manner, his back wouldn't have been a liability here:

Same condition as Jason Genova............

Winged scapula? Don't think Dillett has that....

Wouldn't have happened if Bobby Sly was present.

I agree that his back training was poor but I'm not convinced it made a huge difference in the grand scheme of things. I think a genetically strong body part will grow on any routine while a weak one will struggle to develop regardless of how well trained. For instance, I'm sure you have some body parts that are better than others? Would you put it down to a failure to train those weaker parts properly or accept it's just a genetic issue?

I'm speculating regarding Dillett trying different routines. However, we are looking at a man who's willing to take copious amounts of drugs and who's willing diet to the most extreme levels in order to achieve a certain look. I'm pretty sure he would have attempted different things in order to improve on a glaring weakness but it just wasn't meant to be.

This is what I would suspect........no mind/muscle connection.

Very hard to establish for most people when it comes to training the upper back/lats areas.

[Pumpzilla]

I remember reading once that Dillet didn't train his arm's directly. That he worked
them enough during his back workout. IF this is true, then it shows how piss poor
his back workouts were at actually working the back.

[Nether Animal]

That's still a crazy shot.

I don't think Ronnie (nor Flex) had much of a mind (nor muscle connection) to train with. They just had it.

Dillet "says" he had no shoulder cartilage and any action with shoulders was agony. Think of a BDB and shoulder retraction and you can see where the probelm would be if he is not lying. My front delts and rotator cuff are bad, not fucked, and that movement alone (yes pulling a BDB) hurts badly. Can't imagine you could build much there without genetics and I think he used all his genetic lotto cards already.

I remember when Paul trained at my gym for a good 2 years. The guy was as big as a house when he was on and in full force.

Prob nerve damage
