Bulking question

We're almost in the same exact boat! lol, except I'm 5'7". What's your goal weight? I know I'd ideally like to be 180 lbs at sub 10% but not sure how realistic that is. Right now I'm bulking and I'm at around 175 lbs with 13-14% body fat.
That's hard to do naturally unless you are really gifted genetical. At 5'8 I found 165-170 my best for 10%ish.0 -

Yea true, I was 160 lbs at around 10% about 2 summers ago and I've been basically bulking ever since because I was very cut but thought I could still have more mass so went back to bulking but doing it slowly for about a year or more until my bf is too high or feel that I've gained too much fat and then probably stick to maintenance for awhile and then slowly cut.0 -

I am 5'9 and 180 lbs makes me just chubby...not fat, but no muscle definition whatsoever...so without gear, it looks unlikely you can hit that goal unless you have some genetic freak. My goal is somewhere around 170-175 lbs, basically I stop when I notice my chest is starting to become boobish and my 6 packs are gone (or almost gone), that's a sign that I have to stop and cut.
I am thinking maybe of maintaining my weight at around 168 lbs eventually, that's when I look big and full, but yet my six pack is still visible. It's the best of both world at that weight.0 -
Yea I might have to consider lowering that idea then and I'm two inches shorter so maybe my goal should be 165-170 lbs at <10%.0
