What BF % do you get up to when bulking? And does that at all play a factor as to when you decide to start cutting?

Depends.. I normally get in the 17-18%BF range but this year for my shows I only got to 9%- lots of cals still but they were clean.
I like the 17-18% better

I'm at 17% right now and I'm bulking, frankly since I don't compete I just want to be freakishly big I don't pay much attention to body fat, However once I am freakishly big I might decide to start competing, but I personally think I have along way to go.

15%.........I really dont like bulking anymore. Im more into cleaner cycles that prmote lean mass. Considering im non competetive, I feel it's a good route.

Very good school of thought.... I like bulking but I guess my definition has progressively changed as well.

I tried bulking lean but I just wasn't getting the gains, everything else was dead on but I was just not gaining weight, I still have trouble putting on pounds. I think being naturally a big guy might have something to do with me being less sensitive to the whole getting bigger possess.

18%-20%, but I have decided after this cutter I will only do lean mass gainers since I hate getting fat. My fat % is the main reason that I am starting a cutting cycle. On the bright side I havent started yet and im down 5lbs.
