Hello Everyone, hope all of ya are good.
I have been bulking, 5’11 Male who weighs 140 lbs now. My body fat is 14%. What body fat % should I not exceed while bulking?

    To be honest at 140 and 5'11 you've got plenty of headroom... what's probably more important is the rate of gain.
    If you go at it too fast you will gain mostly fat which will have to come off later.
    Aim for about 1kg per month and you should be good.

    Doesn't really matter. I bulked until I literally couldn't stand it anymore. I didn't pay any attention to my BF%.

    5'11 and 140lbs, wow, I thought I was the only one under 150lbs at around that height. wish you good luck on your journey!

    By the way, how are you measuring your body fat percentage?

    And to answer your question - as someone stated above, if you are gaining more weight in a quick way, then you will most likely end up consuming more fat which you will have to later on work on getting rid of. So it would be better to target high quality calories so that you gain weight in a healthy way.
