most pros get around 15 % in the off season, but they gave so much muscle they still have good separation and definition
YOU have far less muscle, so you'll look chubby at 15 % , but you shouldnt care much about looking "your best " when on a bulk

Depends- best for what? Best for a bodybuilding competition? Best for impressing women? Best for general health?
I’d say for general health 12-15% is a good range. Women usually like muscles but not to a “disgusting” level so maybe 10-15%. For stepping on stage obviously you won’t have an impressive physique unless you’re at least down to 6-7%.
All depends on your body though and how much mass you have to offset higher amounts of body fat. Just go by what you see in the mirror.
