Awsome Pic of Dillet

[pumpster]

yates was ALWAYS in better condition that dillet. 

if you didnt know by now, size and conditioning are the #1 and #2 factors for determining the winner. 

You're a walking train wreck. I mentioned flaws/balance and you brought up conditioning instead, in trying to deflect.

In terms of balance Yates was more flawed, period.

As far as size being the #1 factor, Dillet blew Yates out of the park; you're a dufus.

Laziest BB, dude watching him workout puts you to sleep. There's no intensity

Maybe so, but that style definately worked for him.  If it aint broke dont fix it.  I think just about anyone would take it easy and lift light if it would give them the results Paul got

[slaveboy1980]

dillet is clearly better than yates. i just checked the fibo footage from 94 where yates, vic richards, nasser, dillet etc posed. all the talk was about richards dominating yates...which he did from all angles except back. but, dillet owned them all..including richards.

If you read Dillett's column in MUSCULAR DEVELOPMENT, he gives a month-by-month account of how his personal life fell completely apart over several years.  It's no surprise his career fell apart along with his personal life.  Very sad. 

[dogbowl]

one of the worst posers i've ever seen.  it's as though he had no control over his limbs.

like ususual, you are delusional about the facts.

paul may have had less flaws and better balance that yates, but dorian was always in better condition.

considering paul never the olympia, or any # of significant shows, you are proven wrong once again.

IceCold's earlier post i think is spot on the money. When standing there Dillet was the most incredible thing you could ever see, and there was this huge anticipation for what was going to happen when he posed........then he flexed and not much happened .

But in saying that he was still one of the guys that got me inspired when i started lifting 10 or so years ago, an awsuw site .

I think this is another stock theory perpetrated in lieu of the reality of politics. "He flexed and not enough happened" really is speculation, since what matters is the appearance when posing. It's there along with "weak back" & "posing" as partial but insufficient explanations as to why a physique that was ridiculous & superior to others on stage wasn't at the top in most shows.

Yeah that is a fair comment. What i should have said was, that no matter what happened when he flexed, short of him exploding everywhere, people where going to be disappointed. It seemed to me that he just never had that pop to his muscles that a lot of the top guys did......but is that still being a little picky....yes it probably is because the guy was a true freak, mass, shape and symmetry. And yes he should of been placed higher in a hell of a lot of shows  .

dillet had waaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy too much synthol in the delts, especially the posterior delts.

it's like he just figured he'd chuck most of it in there because so many bbers have weak rear delts. imo, it was a huge mistake. it made his rear double bi look like shit.

to have a weak back, entire back btw, is a cardinal sin in bbing. there are just too many major muscle groups there that also affect the rest of the physique.

he was nowhere near yates' condition or hardness, seperation, detail, density, not in the same ball park.

but yes, in a relaxed pose front on, dillet kicks ass.

[D_1000]

Biggest arms ive ever seen

Massive photoshop. Dig around for the original picture.

The same list of stock excuses, lacking in balance or any comprehension that Yates and others had more flaws, less balance and less muscle. Conditioning's also another excuse-Dillet looks pretty conditioned here in relation to the "keg" it's clear; there goes some more BS.

[pobrecito]

Horrid. There's are reason there are hardly any shots of Dillet from the rear. Dude went overboard with the synthol/esiclene in the delts.

[pobrecito]

great rear lat spread LOL

he was never in good enough shape.

simple as that.

you keep talking about flaws and balance, meaning, his arms were bigger than dorian's.

 

all of that worthless shit you spouted, doesnt mean anything if you're not in top shape to be a contender.

paul never was. 

and it has nothing do with politics.

politics are your excuse for everything when you cant proove it.

are politics the results of your failures as well (cue dump you live and workout in)?

[pobrecito]

Not even Coleman at his largest could match this from the front though. Paul possibly had legit 24" arms 

[donrhummy]

That is just the most insane thing I've ever seen. I think his delts are bigger than his head. And look at his calves! Don't they look like 30-inch calves?!

Yes, Dillet's genetics were absurd.....with training and desire like Coleman or Yates, he would have set a standard that may have NEVER been approached. Too bad he trained like a lazy dog and only looked good when he wasn't hitting a pose 

[natural al]

what olympia's did paul do?  I know he did 93,94,95 and maybe a couple of other ones but he dropped out of a couple didn't he?

bump.

[Dballn247]

Absolutely insane.  Sick gentics.  Regardless of conditioning, truly one of the most impressive builds I've ever seen in real life.  You picture him as huge and when you see him, he's (was) bigger than you thought.

[Rudee]

Horrid. There's are reason there are hardly any shots of Dillet from the rear. Dude went overboard with the synthol/esiclene in the delts.

I'm not convinced Dillet used synthol in his delts.  Dillet has naturally large delts.  I think his rear delts took a tremendous pounding over the years as Dillet attempted to bring up his weak back.  Instead of getting growth in the lats, his delts grew larger and larger.  Some people grow like that.  i.e. their stronger bodyparts take over.   I'm like that in a way as when I bench press I get large triceps but not a lot of chest development, thus I have to focus on chest flys so my triceps don't take over.

How do you explain the fact that the guy is 4% bodyfat with no a visible separation between any of the 3 heads of the deltoid
