Not to necessarily contradict your experience, but to balance it with a bit of optimism... Weight lifters who stop training often find they do lose muscle faster than they'd like.
BUT, once it's packed on, muscle seems to require a lower minimum volume of training to maintain.
AND, when they start training again, it comes back much faster than it did the first time around.

So, there are no excuses to not get a pump :)
