Paul had weak pecs and back. Terrible poser too.

Pauls strengths were arms, legs, and shoulder width.

Paul Dillet had weak pecs ? If that's the case ... I wish I had weak pecs.

that back pose is absolutely terrible for someone who looks as huge as him

he could flare his lats standing "relaxed" but seemed to have trouble doing the same in an actual lat spread.

Dorian looked terrible compared to LOTS of bodybuilders of his day from the front.

Here is my review of him in 1996 at the British GP:

http://www.bodybuildingpro.com/1996englishgrandprixdvd.html

Why the hell does back hold so much weight in judging? He was not even top five from the front at that show - just dominated from the back and to a lesser extent from the side.

See I don't agree with you saying Yates looked terrible from the front , he had the best front latspread , and the best ab-thigh shot , pre-tear his front double bicep shot was excellent , while on paper Dillet should destory Yates in these poses yet he doesn't with the exception of the front double bicep shot , then again Yates never had a problem with his conditioning , where it was always problamatic with Paul .

It's those shoulders. You can't really spread the lats without spreading the delts first and Paul's delts were shot from heavy lifting that caught up to him. Sore shoulders, no lat spread.

His shoulders were so sore that he couldn't pose or lift his arms? I hope you're kidding, that's ridiculous.

Apparently his understanding of good presentation was the main problem. Unfortunately he never got the message. Back lat shot's about the only weak pose.

ARTI · « **Reply #35 on:** January 18, 2006, 09:52:23 AM »

That first back shot is BULLSHIT!

You can see his back is much wider then that from the other front shots.

Someone find Dillet's Best back shot, then we can talk about. Not his worst.

There's alot of pictures floating around that make Yates back look like shit too.

he had such a stupid looking moustache

NarcissisticDeity · « **Reply #38 on:** January 18, 2006, 10:54:25 AM »

Paul had a very wide back , but when he did his back double bicep shot his back looked absolutely tiny , his had the gigantic arms , and delts and his back looked like a middleweights , this was a very akward pose for him.

Scimowser · « **Reply #39 on:** January 18, 2006, 10:57:28 AM »

severe back injuries when he started competing prevented him from developing his back as he couldnt use heavy weights without incredible discomfort. He was so big that he couldnt hold a pose or fully squeeze his arms etc

delta9mda · « **Reply #40 on:** January 18, 2006, 11:11:57 AM »

he was soooo big he couldnt pose- what kind of lame excuse is that?

tommywishbone · « **Reply #41 on:** January 18, 2006, 11:22:14 AM »

Great shoulders, arms, quads & calves. Stinky back & chest. Rancid poser. Very nice guy.

Scimowser · « **Reply #42 on:** January 18, 2006, 11:54:20 AM »

its a fact, many people in Pro BBing have said Dilletts muscles were too big for him to pose properly

lvtolft · « **Reply #43 on:** January 18, 2006, 12:04:28 PM »

Here is a better back shot. A small picture, but it does show a better than average back.

he was one of my favorites/ whatever happened to him ?

Rudee · « **Reply #46 on:** January 18, 2006, 01:02:01 PM »

I saw Dillet up closet at a Toronto show back in the mid 90's and when he walked past me I couldn't believe how enormous he was. Sure, his upperbody was mindblowing, but what really caught my eye was his legs and calves. The guy has some of the most impressive legs I've ever seen with calves the size of footballs. I think his calves are just as powerful as Yates and his legs are just phenominal.

lvtolft · « **Reply #47 on:** January 18, 2006, 01:38:13 PM »

He was one of my favorites too. He had a lot of genetic talent. I wish he would have stayed around a bit longer.

bald · « **Reply #48 on:** January 18, 2006, 01:46:46 PM »

Paul guest posed here a number of years ago. He looked unbelievable, but had absolutely no control when he posed. It almost looked like it was painful for him to hit a pose.

Aside from that dude was a freak.
