It has always been true for me. 6-9 months later I look scrawny if I don't keep lifting. I've lost 20 pounds of muscle in the last 10 months because life got in the way and I haven't been hitting the weights. I think the biggest impact is that I have an incredibly high metabolism. Probably from playing soccer and running cross-country my entire youth. I also hike every single day. Because of that I have to force feed myself to gain. I stop force feeding myself when I stop lifting, which is probably why most of the atrophy happens.
