First Meet at 40

So, this week I began a 10 week peak training schedule for an APF meet in December, my first. The program I have given myself is based on a program designed by champion power lifter Ed Coan. It is pretty much the same as Coan's, but with a few minor changes, mostly with the accessory work. The program has me lifting five days a week. I have added two days of running on top of that schedule. So, far this week I'm feeling better, stronger and more invigorated than I have in some time. I had mentioned in earlier blog posts that I have been exhausted and just constantly feeling run down. Well, this week I have upped my calorie intake to between 3000 and 3500 calories, depending on the training for the day. My macros are 40/40/20 (p/c/f). My body fat percentage is roughly 21%, which isn't terrible, but could obviously use improvement. As I mentioned earlier I haven't been feeling run down. I attribute this partly to the new diet regimen, but I'm sure it as a lot to do
