    Is this a realistic goal? Also, please estimate my BF% (REPS)

    I'm 5'11'', 160lbs, around 12% bf (I think), 18years old

    I want to enter a 2 ½month bulk session to reach maximum 175lbs (will be a lot of fat I know), but ideally, 170lbs with as less fat as possible.

    After that, I'm going to start keto diet for 1½month to lower my bf% at 8-10% while trying to not lose any muscles... Does it sound realistic?

    Also, pics to estimate my BF%

    You don't look 12% to me, prolly 10%. And a 2 month bulk is basically a waste of time. You'll gain a lot of fat and just have to run and maybe gain a couple pounds, not worth it.

    My shortest bulk was 4 months, and i only gained about 5 pounds of muscle to 15 pounds of fat.

    So you're saying I should have a longer bulk? or shorter?

    you look about 12% to me.
    "It ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that"

    Just eat clean and continue bulking. I don't think you could possibly get solid gains in that short of a bulk period, and cutting is unnecessary.

    Then you ate way over your needed level. You really should eat only about 500 cals over maintenance level.
