They're not lying to you. We're not telling you that you "can't" do it, it's not our decision. We're just advising against you doing it. There are a lot of problems with running cycles at a high BF, many of them already stated in this thread. We're looking out for your health, no muscle gains in the world are worth risking something as priceless as that.
Your diet can't be in check with body fat at that level, and the best thing for you now is to go on a cut. Get ur BF down, and then consider running a cycle. With a high body fat the cons outweigh the pros, and the lower the body fat gives more pros than cons. You'll get much better results with lower bf and very few sides. It'll be worth the short wait, trust me.
On another note, I'm seeing way too much about "healthy" bf levels in this thread. Being healthy is being what doctors consider normal... We are not normal, we are bodybuilders and power lifters, we strive to be better than "normal". It doesn't matter how "healthy" you are, synthetic hormones are not healthy for the human body, that is why we must be in elite physical condition, to ensure our body's can steroids it and recover from them. A "healthy" body fat doesn't mean you can safely run steroids...
