Why are there no cross overs?

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.

How do you guys control drug testing?

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.

What does the future hold for YNF?

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.

Which categories can do routines?

Bodybuilding, Classic Physique, Figure and Mixed Pairs routines are optional. We present a trophy for the best routine for these categories.

Meet YNF Elite Athlete, James Duncan

James Duncan was awarded an Elite Athlete title in Season A, 2022.

Jame’s physique and stage presence displayed the ultimate standard in his category. Fitting the YNF Bodybuilding criteria to a T. Overall muscularity & definition, symmetry, Good V taper followed by conditioning and lovely posing

“I’ve been training for 15 years and competing in natural bodybuilding for 7. In 2014 a friend told me I should do a bodybuilding show, at the time I hadn’t even considered this, but once the idea was in my head it stuck. To date I’ve competed in 7 shows, taking out overalls in 4. In 2016 I decided to go completely vegan right at the start of comp prep for season B and took out both the shows I entered. Bodybuilding has done so much for me and continues to give as I get older.”

James has been part of our judging panel since the launch of YNF; with his knowledge as an athlete and within the Natural Bodybuilding industry, it is great having him as part of the team.
