Lifting is a foundation. If you have that down, than a lot of the dread, game, leadership and self respect should come easier.

Nothing changes, you're starting a book from chapter 2 is all.

You can't change your height, so congratulations on winning that lottery. It's good that you already have an awesome lifting base. Do you know your ballpark body fat within a percent or two? (There are a lot of ways to be 6'4" and 225). Can you climb stairs without getting winded?

How is your personal style and way of grooming? Are you flirting with women who are not your wife? Does your wife see women checking you out without you trying? Consider demographics. If you're in your forties, and your style is still t-shirts and gym shorts but it's been five hours since you hit the gym, put on a button-up and some slacks that are tailored for you and shoes that can be resoled, and change things up. Unless you work on an oil rig, and your style is more jeans and cowboy boots and it's a t-shirt you tuck in. Mark Manson's Models has a basics guide to this paragraph.

Are you leaving the house and doing your own thing, aside from the gym? Can you count your male friends who would be up for going out with you on a weeknight this week? What happens if you call them tomorrow and set something up?

I was lifting and doing MMA from before I started RP. It just means you already checked that box; grats on it being easier.

Just get the other boxes checked too.

So you got the muscles, now get shredded.

You are probably in the top 5% of men here. You already know what it's like to be confident and well built; clearly you were near the front of the queue when basic physical characteristics like height were being handed out.

Which means that I'd think most RP stuff would come pretty quick and natural to you.

Don't let yourself get complacent. It was complacency put you where you are now; it was your natural thirst to solve your own problems that led you to discover MRP. Don't let that flame go out.

Damn this is wonderful. Owning your experience is essential.

I think you nailed it with "thanks baby".
It's a double-entendre of irony and sarcasm. She'll chew on that for weeks.

On the physical side if you want to get more chiseled you have to reduce a few carbs and do moderate running (fat burning zone) to cut a few more % of body-fat.
If you have never run much then don't cut any carbs. Instead eat pasta the night before then run long the next day. It is two weeks of pure hell if you're not a runner and jump head-long into it. After you get accustom to running a few miles a day then you inch down your carbs to trim fat.
We used to do top & bottom cross-training alternating between lifting and running.
Warm-up and cool-down runs and stretches are important to keep your muscles from cramping into oblivion.
