GARY KEATTS – Warrior’s Corner

I started lifting when I was just a kid. My dad introduced me to lifting at a very young age. When I was second grade I wrote a report that said I wanted to be a bodybuilder when I grew up!

I worked with Rebecca Mitchell for my prep. Rebecca was great. Anytime I had a question she was there, and was very knowledgeable.

The hardest part of prep for me was the last two weeks, simply because I was always tired. My motivation was simple—I wanted to be the best, and do my best at everything I did.

For somebody looking to get started with competition, I would ask them how serious they are, and make sure it’s what they really want. You can give advice all you want, but if they don’t have the desire, your words mean nothing.

During my prep, I learned that I’m not a very happy person with carbs, lol!

I’d like to thank my coach Rebecca, but most of all, my fiancé. Without her cooking all my meals and being so supportive, I never would have made it! Moving forward, I’m looking to move up to the Classic Physique Division and see what I can do!
