Coming to the end of week 5 (week 2 of the second building phase) and I'm feelin even more lean. I don't get measured untill next week, but I can't wait. The scale weight is down a few pounds, most likely the result of the 2800cal staggered days, but my strength continues to go up so I'm pretty confident that the lb loss is just fat. For many of my lifts, the weight on the last set of these 12-10-8 pyramids is up to what I was lifting on the 6 rep power days.
I also found out that a couple of my friends from college have a bet going to see who could lose the most body fat. They started around the same time as I did and they said they would let me get in on their bet, but they both have a lot less fat to lose and I was already way ahead of them so I don't think it would be fair for me to jump in. Also my goal date is in July and their's ends way sooner. Here's one of my friend's my space page if any one is interested in his before and after pics:
