Competeting and steroid use

[AllKindsOGains]

Just starting out as a new member. I was wondering what your guy's opinion was on using and competing. Do you think that actually participating in bodybuilding shows is a prerequisite for using steroids? Obviously untested shows but is that the "only" justifiable reason to use them? Thanks

What are your stats?
How long have you been training?
to compete in a high level comp you will mostly likely need to use steroids to have any chance of placing,
There are comps around for naturals<
all depends on the level you are and what you want to achieve from competing,

Sorry I reposted a similar thread because I couldn't find this one. Anyway 162 lbs 5'10" I could include a pic if you want. Hoping to do a natural comp in April but things may change. I just meant would someone not competing and cycling be doing it for the wrong reason?

Jumping on gear is personal preference you don't need to be a bodybuilding competitor to jump on, and I don't think it's weird to use and not compete.

IMO people mainly use it to gain the look that they want.
