I'm hoping to drop down to 10-12% BF before i bulk. I'm about 18% BF right now.
I don't wanna get fat when i bulk, as that will just discourage me. Planning on investing $$$ into some heavy weights and just eat at a 300-500 cal surplus.

I'm kinda the opposite. I have no issues going up to 15% or even a tad higher if im adding a lot more muscle. Once you have a bunch of muscle under there the fat starts coming off when you diet down. The highest I've been was around 235 around 15%, then just took about 6-8 to get back down close to 10% before going on vacation with the family. Through experimentation, I found High protein, high carb, low fat to work best for me to gain size, and then completely drop the carbs to around 100g per day, keep protein high, and up the fats from 30g to about 100g per day, and added in cardio.
