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.

Where should I get my tan done?

Tracey Kaye and her team are our on-site hair, tan and makeup artists. With a high level of experience in tanning, they will have you stepping on stage with the correct shade to look incredible under stage the lighting. Contact Tracey Kaye to confirm a spot.

Meet Elite Athlete, Paolo Iudiciani

Paolo Iudiciani was awarded an Elite Athlete title in Season B, 2021.

Paolo’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 since May 2014, and competed for the first time in November that same year, it was after my PT at that time suggested for me to try, as that would give me a clear meaning to my efforts. I then fell in love with bodybuilding after the first time I went through my prep and stood on stage, realising that I was capable of transforming my body the way I did. It was one of the biggest rewards I ever received. I’ve done 18 comps so far, and part of my journey I became vegan in March 2019.”

Because of Paolo’s knowledge as an athlete and within the natural bodybuilding industry, we have welcomed him as part of our judging panel.
