As an amateur...
-
should have just stuck to what was working
his back got progressively worse each year and delts more suspicious

-
He`s just a little heavier than Hanky there.

Man, the early 90's were fucking awesome.
I remember Dorian came on the scene and looked crazy at the NOC but lost to Benezziza. Padilla also looked unbelievable that year. Then Kevin turned pro and I remember back then Kevin was unreal, huge legs, huge arms and absolutely diced. Then Flex turned pro and at that time 92, 93 looked like he had the craziest genetics ever. And I was curious how this was going to play out at the Olympia. These guys just started looking more and more unbelievable. Then the Olympia comes around and there's Dillet who ends up being the freakiest looking bodybuilder Ive ever seen. And between all of them -overnight- bodybuilding just changed. Just a whole other level. In my mind bodybuilding went from something that I 'could' do, if I really dedicated myself, to something that was totally unattainable and I stopped following the sport for a few years. Then in 98 or 99 I picked up a Flex magazine and saw Ronnie Coleman. I think I actually laughed out loud and just set the magazine back down.

I didn't get what the big deal was about him. He was ugly and sounded dumb in interviews. What's he doing these days? Does he still lift? I thought a few years back someone posted that he no longer works out or anything.

For all you haters, when will this be replicated:

The best silhouette ever but when the lights come one and it's posing time, it's all downhill.

I’d say it’s a toss up between Ruhls silhouette and dillets.
-
His physique was insanity. Complete alien genetics. But he appeared fragile and like he wasn't in control of his body. It didn't project power. Couldn't hold a pose, looked like he was falling over all the time. When he hits a bicep flex it looks like he is blacking out lol.

freaking huge mofo

Hell that’s 30 years ago and I was working the front desk at Golds Gym Venice.
On Saturday mornings Dillet would stroll in wearing a sleeveless- not a tank top. He would then giant set shoulders & arms. No real strategy it seemed just random exercise selections...
Seat Cybex dips, then flex single arm seated machine curls, then Cybex seated side laterals. All in the front room at Golds Venice.
Lots of sets. Minimal weight.
So he would get this crazy shoulder and arms pump going. We would catch one another watching him, then look at each other and just shake our heads.
The unspoken conversation was:
“Are you seeing what I’m seeing?”
“Dude! What the fuck!”
“That’s not fair.”
“I give up.”
“Dude!!”
“I know I know! I’m seeing what you’re seeing.”
“Fuck.”
Shake head. Walk away.

Fast forward to 2022, you are massive ...and Paul is quite small.
-

Yep And BWanky says Paul look awful Compared to how Good he looks
Paul has Spaghetti Arms
;D :D ;D :D ;D
-
Paul desperately needed Matty Ferrigno as his posing coach
-
To begin with, someone needs to point out the blatantly obvious:
Amazing physique for a 27-year-old former sheet metal worker.
Next:
It's intriguing to me that a man that absolutely massive was apparently as weak as feathers - at least with respect to what you'd expect from a 6'1.5" / 285-lb giant of a man.
-

Talk about being totally delusional....Hanky takes the cake.........literally. :D
-
Paul was like he was just wearing a muscle suit, no real power, as mentioned "fragile"
His entire lower back was void of any detail or development and was generally smooth as a babies bum.
-
The best silhouette ever but when the lights come one and it's posing time, it's all downhill.
I remember when you could recognise all the Olympia competitors from their silhouettes
-
Pellius would always be the guy to chime in and say that Dillet trained harder and was stronger than anyone gave him credit for.
Big fan of Pauls physique and I always wondered "Jesus christ how bad does your posing have to be to lose shows when you're built like that?"
Then I saw his posing. It always looked like he was in extreme duress while posing. Like his muscles were ready to give out at any moment. Shaking like a leaf. Would only hold a pose for a second or two at most.
-
Dillet is perhaps the apex version of all drugs
There was no base and he was literally puny without gear

Perfectly summarized posing of peace

yeah it's crazy to think how much it changed just from 92 - 94

yeah he would've been the champ for sure without the posing being required, if they just stood there as you would in any non bodybuilding show setting

Thank you sir.

haha you get a pass since you just competed in your first bodybuilding comp

That’s weird, I usually recognize them from the color of the thong they are wearing and how they are stuffed

Who told you he was weak?? I've seen pictures of him doing barbell curls with 225 lbs
-
I remember inone of the BFT0 he was hiccupping from all the clenubeterol ...he was gasping for air as he spoke
-

Anti-Black post reported.
Jk. ;D
On a serious note, I was also flabbergasted at how poor his posing was. As beakdoctor said, how do you possibly lose shows with a physique that good, simply on the basis of poor posing?
But Paul managed to do it, lol. His posing was in all likelihood, even more bad than his physique was good - which doesn't even seem possible.
Granted, he did have a legitimate deficiency in his back density/thickness - something like that [not width - no issues there] - but his posing just did not highlight his tremendous gifts. I just pulled this up on YouTube quickly, and I must say - this is the best posing video of Paul Dillett I've ever seen, and isn't nearly as bad as some others I saw, of the form that beakdoctor described:
-
Who told you he was weak?? I've seen pictures of him doing barbell curls with 225 lbs
Dillett himself stated that he was only bench pressing 135-lb when beginning his journey to the 2006 Montreal Pro show. He had loaded 225-lb on the bar, but couldn't even get one rep.
So yeah, I'd say that is pretty weak, even after an extended layoff. Granted, my bench press went below 250-lb due to the pandemic gym closures, but now it's almost 350 again - well...315 handily for reps...I've just been avoiding max singles for injury-prevention reasons.
Not to make excuses - I guess I expected more from Paul because of his large size and muscularity. From what I can tell, I am stronger than he was in some lifts.
But hey - this is bodybuilding, right? So who cares what he lifts?
Bottom line - look at that shoulder-to-waist ratio, as well as his long, large arms. Very Goodrum-like:

-
By 2006 he couldn't press because of shoulder pain, not because was that weak. he stated that he couldn't even raise his arms above the head. Not necesarrily because of lifting injuries, could be severe ostheoarthritis or other degenerative joint issue.

Excellent memory of Paul's results from 16 years ago.
I had thought Paul's strength loss was just due to an extended layoff from training, until he started taking the MuscleTech stack again to compete in the 2006 Montreal Pro, at age 41.
Incredible physique in the first picture below - giant arms, huge delts, small waist, incredible V-taper...very Goodrum-like:

Zero from the back.

What a fucking monster....huge lats from the front,but back shots sucked.
If we was a tad drier and harder he would have been much harder to beat.

Maybe he is weak now, but you are silly if you think a man with 24'' arms was weak
-

As I said, Paul Dillett was always very Goodrum-like. So I'm sure he was strong...just not as strong as one would expect from a bodybuilder who was so Goodrum-like.
-
He's the reason I started wearing suspenders

Certainly not as strong as Levrone

Bulge not as strong as Levrone

Agreed. Was Levrone suspended for wearing perform enhancing underwear?
-

From what I understand Paul was able to bench 500 lbs, he said it, I believe I read it in a magazine. Kevin was a freak of strength, I think he was able to bench over 600 lbs
-

LOL
Le VRO Neeeeeeeeeeeeee and his delirio de grandeza
WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
-
He`s just a little heavier than Hanky there.
3-4" taller and only 20 lbs heavier. They're pretty much structural clones I'd say

none of this was true
-

Agreed. The size of Bhanks melon throws his proportions off a little bit otherwise they're virtually identical. I mean we're talking about right now, right? This very moment. So id say Bhanks compares favorably to Dillet at the moment. Virtually identical.

Small waist, wide shoulders, and long arms. Whoever the mystery silhouette represents, he is very Goodrum-like.

The one on the left is called a "swimmer" by the one on the right, who looks more like a "sinker".
Or was that "stinker"? Nah, "sinker" fits fine. So does "floater". Oh...He is gonna beat me up for this.

The best silhouette ever but when the lights come one and it's posing time, it's all downhill.
I could never understand how someone with such freak genetics wouldn't spend time learning how to pose. Such untapped potential. His job was BODYBUILDER. Train, eat, sleep and pose. How could he just not bother to learn to pose?

Posing is mostly talent based. Like dancing or singing. If you don't got it inherently you're never going to get it...

Lee Priest claims Dillett was so lazy he would lay on the floor to practice posing.

It's actually THE most controllable variable in bodybuilding.

Story goes.....
Back in the day a rumor circulated about why Denise abruptly exited bodybuilding while at the peak of her popularity and poised to be Ms. OLYMPIA.
Tommywishbone later set the record straight about her less than stable personality....but for a long time the rumor went like this.....
Around the late 80's early 90's Orange roughy was a staple in the bodybuilding diet. You could say it was all the rage. Apparently it was a good source of protein but it had a nasty side effect: disgusting, foul, oily, runny, shits that blazed through ones anus uncontrollably.
Apparently Denise waa working out, out door gym I do believe, with a crowd of onlookers and some photographers from various muscle mags... she was in great condition, moving from set to set and stopped to hit a few poses at the request of the photographers.
She raises arms overhead and squeezes into an Ab and Thigh shot. As she hits the pose an oily stream of tinted sludge boils out of her nether regions. Streaming down her leg and pooling at her feet. The bile, if you will, was relatively clear so fortunately most observers didn't notice...... but as the seconds ticked by a putrid odor arrived and those who tried to ignore the initial faux pas found it difficult to stomach the stench.
This resulted in a level of humiliation that forced the would-be queen of bodybuilding to forever walk away from tge sport.
FWIW Tommy said he and Denise were roommates in her prime and he doubts the story. Said she had a screw loose, a natural flaw in her psyche that resulted in other irrational decisions.
-
Damn! That would be embarrassing but she shouldn't have quit over it.

Having a screw loose is a prerequisite in women’s bodybuilding

Nope - True - Mind Mike Mentzer Quit Competing & went hay wire
because he Got Beat at a Mr Olympia ::)
-

Unfortunately the real reason is more tragic.
Long story short...
She started hanging out with some gang bangers that didn't live too far away (crips or bloods or some shit like that. Little fucking hoods) and became more interested in that scene until she got turned out on dope.... someone said one of these little gangsters got killed and she got an ugly ass tattoo of his face on her thigh...
That's all hearsay though. May be true or not but seems to line up with the pictures that have circulated for years e.g. mugshots
