What is the biggest difference between
progress and staying in the same place
as a bodybuilder?
The best answer to this question, especially
in the highly competitive bodybuilding
environment, is setting goals. Goal setting is
the master skill of success and in no other
sport is this truer than in bodybuilding.
Every month, every week, every day, every
workout, and every rep and set you have an
opportunity to achieve your goals and to set
new ones.

How much muscle did you manage to
gain in your year away from competition?
I gained 10kg of stage weight.
How did you do it, Morné?
I followed the Y3T training system invented
by bodybuilding visionary Neil Hill. He
started thinking out of the box when training
injuries held him back from going all out
in the gym. By changing things up over a
three-week period he was able to continue
building quality muscle. It was my coach
Hennie Kotze who first introduced me to
Y3T. The reps and sets differ each week.
One week I would use heavy weights, the
following week would be lighter with more
volume training, and the week after that I
would focus on doing a series of super or
drop sets. It is basically about constantly
introducing a new training stimulus. I love
it and believe it is the ultimate muscle-
building programme. It built 212 (96kg)
champion Flex Lewis.
So, would you recommend taking Y3T for
a test drive?
Definitely! Building muscle requires that you
know exactly when to push and when to back
off. This is central to the Y3T philosophy. By
