Prevent SMV plateauing

You are over the burst of the first 6 months. You are not stagnating, the visible/easy progress just slowed down. It's a fucking long-term game.

Is there anything left to implement?

Yeah just the whole thing? You are officially entered the beginner stage and are wondering if there is anything left lol.

What can I do to ensure I never stop bettering myself?

Don't let anybody pull you back. Any woman, your family, your social circle. They will try.

Your lifting results are likely to peak at 4y, not 6mo. At 6mo you probably look like you do manual labor for a living. Not trying to diminish your accomplishment here, but have some realistic perspective on where you are and where you need to be before you can claim your physique has reached a plateau.

Lifting is not the end-game, it is the start. Once you build your body for about 2 years, then you need to move into other activities which utilize that nice new strong body. TRP loves martial arts. Would you feel safer with a bodybuilder or a brown belt in your corner? That is literally how women see it.

You also didn't detail what your lifting program is. Are you doing calves and biceps on worthless machines, or actual compound barbell lifts while sticking with a hypertrophy set/rep/rest scheme? Are you doing the Big Six, or just the Big Three? How frequently do you go? See what I mean here? Not enough info for us to go on.

IMO meditation is being confused by a lot of people. It is really just another workout, for the mind, where you are to NOT engage thoughts and feelings. How this is relevant to your day-to-day, is that it builds the discipline and skill to NOT engage in thoughts and feelings which lead to destructive behaviors. Thoughts like "I really want candy" or "I'll do it tomorrow" or even shit like "I'm not a good person". Look up Eckhart Tolle's videos on YT, he has great, practical insight on this.

Got my diet and face largely in check.

Really? Why not detail what your diet is? I have eggs and breakfast every morning, followed by three pieces of fruit between 9-11. Then I have a light lunch, usually a salad with some chicken, or if I weighed below my goal that day I will substitute salad for a pizza. Between 1-3pm I have a couple more pieces of fruit. When I come home for dinner, I make sure to have vegetables and chicken or fish, and I avoid all carbs after 6pm. I do this every fucking day, until the weekend where I cheat like a Marine's disgruntled wife.

Not saying you need to follow my diet, but again, there isn't enough to go on for us to really give you input.

You need to spin 3 plates at once.

Lifting heavy weights for 6months.

Good, lift for 6 years more, then come back. Years.
