Do i need steroids to compete?

[calichico]

I'm 19 and have a goal to compete in my first show in a few months. I want to know if I do compete, do i need to take steroids to be competitive? I know there are natural contest, but i have tried steroids about a year ago for about a month. It hurt me more than it helped (because i didn't know what i was doing) So, since i have to join a regular, non tested contest, do i need steroids to compete and do well?

5-9, 185, 12%

also, do i need steroids to get that ripped look? to acheive the 3-4% bodyfat?

Thank You!

You're too young now to consider a year ago you were just being outragously stupid

you also can get quite a few more pounds naturally
