Would Paul Dillet have been Mr. Olympia if he had a better back?

[paul_dianabol]

From the front he was unbeatable but when he turned around he wasn't very good... So, if Dillet had a good/great back would he have been Mr. Olympia?

[Whey Hey]

His back was pretty good, but because he was so tall it gave the illusion he wasnt that wide, that AND the fact he could rarely hit the rear lat spread pose properly....

[foshobombdiggity]

if he could pose properly (and hold it for more than 1 second) he could have been a mr olympia

[-SLIX-]

why cant some ppl pose.... god damn, its embarrassing

[wilwn]

dillet was not a great poser, but that is not what kept him from winning the O.

IMO if he had a better back, yes he would he have won (at least deserved to have won)

cramps is the key word here

i think he just scared the living **** out of the judges with his ima rape you eyes and them crazy ass veins. thats why he never won. he shoudl have though he was a monster but look at the line ups he went against. yates, levrone coleman, ray, wheeler, nasser. mabey thats the reason.

Never in a million years would he have gotten the title in the mid to late 90's. Far too many better bodybuilders around this time. Shawn Ray, Levrone, Wheeler consistently beat him. He just didn't have the muscle maturity so many people speak about and like everyone else has said, his back was below par. I also have a sneaking suspicion he used the oil for his rear delts.

He was huge a freaky with the typical "x" type of body type and one of my favourites.

He did get in good condition at some shows, and im sure cramping up was way more than constant with him, I mean, how many guys do you hear get carried off stage from such a full body cramp up, lol. He must have been DRYYYY!

see 2:00 for back shot


:confused:

[rob1992]

i started thinking it didnt look too bad at 2:00...then when he dropped his arms into a kinda relaxed position....his back was pretty much the same as during the lat spread :p

Rubbish back in comparison to some of the best, just looks like not much is going on.l

I'd have to agree. And as much as Dillet had freak arms whereas Dorian had mediocre arms, Dorian had a freak back whereas Dillet had a mediocre back. Based on that, Dorian has to win.

Got to have the best waist though for a bloke of that size lol

Not the best, but very small yes. I'm not a big fan of small waists.

Paul Dillett was the freakiest, biggest and well-proportioned bodybuilders ever. His only flaw was that he had what you call a "high-lats" and so he doesn't look good when he does a rear double biceps pose. But with better posing, presentation and even a great personality, I think Dillett could have won at least three Mr. Olympia titles.
