Paul Dillett - 1993 Ironman Pro PICS!!!

[MCWAY]

I liked this or his 1993 ASC look the best.
On the video he actually gets big applause when he
hits his rear lat spread.
In 1994 he was more ripped but lost some roundness
in the Grand Prix he won.
In 1996 he came in at 275 instead of 263 in 1993
and lost alot of that small waist;  incredible V taper in open
arm poses.
1st time I saw this vid back in 1993 my 1st thought was...
This is the 1st BBer who has long arms with full muscle bellies
like Arnold.
My 2nd thought was how in the heck did Vince beat Dillett.

Easy! Better conditioning and posing.

Its insane how he was so big, yet was able to keep his waist in check.

7.8 heaths wider than Phil

Yet he got waxed repeatedly by guys over 70 lbs lighter. Heath would take Dillett apart.

If you can't beat Lee Labrada, you can't touch Phil Heath.

MCWAY we all know what do you think about placings and judging, always fair and perfect in your opinion... For you retiring Labrada and Taylor (better conditioning than Paul? Absolutely not...) placing in front of that alien monster was the right thing, for me Paul should have been second, behind Wheeler, both at the Ironman and ASC in 1993... Labrada is/was a far better bodybuilder than shrimp Heath, only height was his weakness, far better structure, conditioning, posing, and just as good muscle bellies... 1993 Dillett would dwarf Heath into oblivion, everything far superior, with comparable conditioning, with Heath winning only on back detail and posing... Paul's structure alone with that unmatched shoulders-to-waist ratio would make the Narrow One disappear into submission... Hey, agree to disagree, this is how i see it...

[ChopperRider]

wow... 3.3 Heaths wide!! 

Dillett and Ruhl are the only ones I can think of reaching the 3.0+ Heaths wide!! maybe Joel stubbs too.

Take a look at a Matt Mendenhall pic from his prime.....

I never claimed judging was always fair. But, when you lose REPEATEDLY to a guy over 70 lbs lighter, it's not simply due to allegedly unfair judging. Dillett "dwarfed" Labrada too. But, he couldn't beat him and he had his troubles with Taylor.


To claim Dillett would beat Heath, whose only about 25 lbs lighter than Dillett in his prime, makes no sense.

It happens frequently in bodybuilding. Smaller but better-conditioned and proportioned guys beat bigger guys.

Someone mentioned Markus Ruhl. After his big NOC win in 2002, he lost in Italy to a way smaller Darrem Charles. We know of the story of a shredded Rich Gaspari, beating a much larger Vic Richards. And we all know what happened in 2008 at the Olympia.

I was about to make a thread on this and decided to check and see if Ice did it already. Crazy how good he looks here. Rear delts look way sharper and less loaded with oil too. And his back actually looks okay!

Sad thing is -- Many names mentioned here are Far wider & Better than Heath,
Yet none have a Mr.O win & Yet Heath has a Hat Full of Them...

Dillet would not beat Heath, nor should he.

I remember this show, reading articles how this was ushering in the new era with him and Wheeler.

They had a photo of Dillet's shadow that looked unreal, as did Dillet himself in a lot of poses.  But he looked like complete horseshit from the back, and posed like a retard, which really took away from him.

I'm no fan of the modern era, but Heath would beat him.

The original monster freak. I don't think we'll ever see anyone with as crazy genetics as Dillett.

Wrong. This is the original monster freak from way back in 1982 and 1983. Bertil fucking Fox. 22'' guns in your face guy 

[Dokey111]

^ no Dillett was freakier than Fox.  Fox was massive yes but did not have the crazy Sergio-like shoulder to waist difference like Dillett

[Royalty]

Dillett was much wider than Bertil

[Pet shop boys]

Hardly!! Dillett, in his prime, couldn't beat Labrada who was on his way to retiring, much less take on Heath now.

Different judging criteria ..Labrada was retiring because he didn't want to disfigure his physique chasing something like Yates .


WooSHHHHHHHH

I assume you mean Silhouette

[TheShape.]

I assume you mean Silhouette

That's pretty impressive right there. Calves and legs in a perfect ratio.

'91 Nats maybe the best he ever looked.
