Dillet was awesome with his 23" arms and 30" waist, but he had some serious structural as well as muscular flaws. These are the structural flaws:
- Relatively narrow clavicles for his height - they were wider than that of all other bodybuilders, but that's because he has more stature.
- Long limbs - because he's tall.
- High lats
And these are the muscular assymetries that precluded him from becoming a standard-bearer:
- huge quads and arms that were too big for his small torso and underdeveloped pectoralis.
- Frontal deltoids that overpowered his other two delt heads and his entire physique from the front.
- Latissimus defective in both width&thickness and that were notoriouisly watery come contest time.
- insufficient muscular thickness for his height, evidenced that he practically disappeared from the sides.
Now, how would these structural and muscular defciencies reflect at a bodybuilding contest?
Dillet's major strengh came at the relaxed round, when his awesome taper gave him an advantage over all the other competitors. The only minus was from the sides, when, although gaining points due to his flat stomach and incredible serratus, Dillet was marked down for his general lack of muscle thickness. The symmetry round is where he scored most of his points.
The mandatories largely explain Dillet's lack of dominance when it came to the top show in the sport, and why he was only able to win minor pro shows. Let's analyse this:
Front double biceps - As with Coleman, here is where Dillet scored most of his points in the mandatories. His full 23" arms are visible in this pose, as well as his incredible quads, and all of this was complemented by his superb abdominal definition and taper.
Back double biceps - Here dillet took a beating, because the only thing he has going on for him in this pose is biceps peak. His incredible deficiency of muscle mass in his back for a man of his size is only emphasized further by the fact that he he tends to hold water there and, thus, looks puffy at contest time.
Front lat spread - Dillet kind of has strenghs and weaknesses here. His major weakness, obviously, is that in pose that calls for the latissimus to spread, Dillet's lats don't do shit. His strengh, again, is his great taper - which is caused by his incredibly small waist and not by his latissiumus development. In general, though, his lack of muscularity here completely ruins it for him.
Back lat spread - What lat spread?! Dillet looks like he doesen't even have lats!
Abs-and-thighs - Dillet has great abs as well as great quads, so this is one of the mandatories where he has it best. The only minus is that his lats are also visible in this mandatory and, as usual, look punny. However, this pose emphasizes symmetry, something that Dillet has.
Side triceps - dillet's humongous triceps and great vastus lateralis shine in this pose, but he is compromised by the fact that he lacks thickness on his torso. I would say that Dillet has one of the best side triceps in the sport if you ignore that a man who stands 6'1 + should look much thicker from the sides than he does.
Side chest - In a a single word: pathetic. Dillet has incredibly punny chest, the result of doing pectoralis workouts that involve nothing more than cable cross-overs, and his varicose veins don't help him. He has his trademarked quad thickness and nothing more. Wow.
In conclusion: his major shortcomings can be summarized by lack of latissimus width&thickness, which is emphasized by his tendency to hold water on his back, and also by his long limbs.
