Paul Dillet guest posing in 1993

[A50#]

i wonder what his gear usage was like..



and i wonder how insane he still would have looked had he stayed natural

I always heard Paul had a hard time carrying that weight around and would often get out of breath just walking from his car to the gym.

i believe he has pretty bad asthma.. listening to him speak while sitting around doing nothing is low key anxiety inducing lol

He's always reminded me of Harlem Nights

90s was rhe golden era

Epitome of mass with aesthetic

paul was a mountain of mass!

 

[Mufasa123]

He was crazy massive even in the age of mass monsters. I recall some teenage pictures of him. Bone structure wasn't overly thick or broad. Kind of a tall natural lean skinny build with a bit more muscle (nothing wow or even standout). Point being, insane genetics to pile all that muscle on and likely real hard to carry on that frame as to me he doesn't have a natural big heavy build (probably better he didn't for BBing anyway).

As I was young, this was the era I most closely followed BBing. Lots of TV coverage too.

Why did dillet stop competing? Health issues?

He was a bit before my time but looking back at old photos, seems like he was able to hang with or even dwarf mass monsters like Yates or Nassar

Seems like he had elite, monster level genetics. Surprised he never won an O

He beat anyone from the front but never looked as good from the back partly poor posing and partly just not as well developed

I love seeing Dorian death face

It’s hard to imagine someone making Dorian look small but good lord… unreal.

It’s kinda crazy because he states his best look was at 260 which for a guy his height isn’t that big but his muscle bellies and insertations are just so elite he looks 320 on stage.

I had forgotten Chris Aceto was his first coach. Good interview with him now that he’s older for those who have FB:

Paul had an incredible look for test physique, no doubt. I never could figure out why he lacked muscle control and why his posing was so awful.
And for those who said that he “beat anyone from the front“… I’m sorry, that’s just nonsense. In still photography, Paul is a world beater. But when he posed next to somebody like Dorian, and you actually had to watch the bodies in motion, he just looked doughy. His muscles Had no hardness to them at all. And that was from the front where he looked incredible.

When he turned to the back, I just don’t understand it. It’s so weird that he had the diced glutes and hamstrings, but his back was always a mushy mess. I don’t know… I would love to know what caused that.

I’ve often wondered (because everyone’s heard the stories of him training with absurdly light weight.) if maybe he had trained with heavier weight, perhaps he would have been able to control all of that muscle. Who knows? At any rate, pictures of him are something beyond indescribable, and a case to be made for him being the all-time greatest front relaxed pose ever. Definitely the best silhouette (I can’t remember which Schwarzenegger classic had them all come out and silhouette first… 94?)!
But watching him move on stage next to a competitor that could actually control their physique… The special-ness evaporated pretty quickly.

Now, having said all that, I’m not crapping on the guy! If I woke up and looked like that, I’d never wear a shirt again!

He was 320 in the condition in the early 90s? Damn he must have been the biggest bodybuilder in the world that year.

To think that this monster of a man can go back to being a normal skinny fat tall guy is insane tbh
