How to keep gains from weight lifting?

[Mzwoal]

So a friend of mine trained all of last summer, he Definitely put on a lot of muscle mass and strength as well. I was shocked because I went and trained with him last November and he was stronger than me.
we got together a couple weeks ago I hadn't seen him in a while and he had gotten a lot smaller and his strength was all gone. he told me he took some time off from the gym but overall he's been grinding pretty Non-Stop but is having a hard time holding his gains even when he trains consistently
do you have any idea what he could be doing wrong?

he probably stopped using steroids lol

Keeping up diet and training off cycle is super important.

you have to build consistency over time. its body memory

same reason baseball or football players who played since they were 5 years old can take a year off and still be okay
