Fortress:
I seem to recall Paul writing for MUSCLEMAG around the time he came back for the 2006 Montreal Pro [around the time of the pictures below, which were Before & After CELL-TECH]. Being Canadian, and so involved in the bodybuilding scene, had you Paul in person numerous times?
How about Greg Kovacs? If so, can a comparison between the two mass monsters be made?
LOL!!!!! 😂
True words have NEVER been spoken.
I’ve only once been in a gym with Paul when he was working out. Strangely, this was around the time you mention. He was doing his “comeback”, but sadly, would never reclaim the physique he had prior to “losing it all”. Still huge, but nowhere close. This is always the case in bodybuilding: You let off the gas, lose a dramatic amount of size and strength, and then try to get
back to where you were, it’ll not happen, ever.
Loutard might be the exception. But weirdly, his comeback physique was an entirely different one from his glory-days one. Very bizarre.
Anyway …
Yeah, Dillett was a completely uninspiring trainer with what appeared to be no heart.
Just a through-the-motions-with-a-crapload-of-gear-in-his-system bodybuilder.
I have worked out with Kovacs. He was beyond monstrous and strong, but nowhere near the strength advertised by MuscleTech, which I knew, as its owner was a once-friend who thought nothing of lying about, well, everything.
Greg wasn’t long for this world. Just too extreme and too over the top.
But WHAT a monster.
P.S. I’ve stood beside Greg weighing himself at a full 385 pounds. And very lean. But with a monstrous gut … albeit, pulled in a flexed, with a TIGHT set of abs.
