This category is for competitors who have transformed both their physique (not just with a comp prep) and their lifestyle. They may like the opportunity to step on stage and show their achievements and inspire others. This could be a stepping stone for these competitors to compete in another category further down the track or they may feel they are also ready now and are competitive enough to compete against other athletes in another category of their choice.

We feel bodybuilding has become extremely complicated over the years, with too many crossovers. We have simplified this by limiting crossovers. We feel it will make it better for the competitors, coaches, judges and audience. Athletes will know which category fits their physique.
Drug testing is done on the day of competition. Athletes are chosen by judges. If a competitors test comes back positive, it is a lifetime ban from YNF Australia. For more in depth information about drug testing please head to terms and conditions.
Our goal is to not only have a prestige show here in WA but run YNF shows in other states and further down the track other countries, then we look forward to having State, National and World Titles. We know our passion for this industry will take us far in the Natural Bodybuilding world.
