Not sure what you mean...

I'm a 20 year old guy, 152lb 70" tall, my body fat is somewhere around 12-13%, maybe a bit lower. I'm aiming to get it down to 7% or so and begin a bulk phase

That's exactly what I was assuming. 70" tall 5'10"...5'10" 152lbs is not the time to cut. It doesnt make sense to drop your bf so low before you bulk. Thats actually the opposite of what you should do. Bulk up, put on some muscle and THEN cut down. You may not even need to cut depending on your metabolism and how you make up your diet. Bulk first, cut later.

Interesting... It still seems logical, (if you've seen my "different kind of bulk" post a few threads down), in theory if I don't gain as much fat from a slower bulk might as well get rid of the fat first, and look better during the slow bulk phase ;) But perhaps I'm mistaken, I'm not exactly experienced like you/anyone else on the forum
