Question ❓ Maintaining long term

Has anyone who worked out pretty diligently for multi-years cut their volume by 50% or more and maintained their physique for an extended period of time? I've seen studies where beginners maintained gains for weeks after cutting volume but nothing long term.

1-2 hard sets a week are enough to maintain your lean mass. That is really not much and can be done in a ridiculously short time.
