Comment on my workout schedule.

I think I will slow down with heavy lifting and focus on soccer and bboying, but over the summer I'll probably start lifting again.

As a separate question, if one does lift for a period of time (let's say two-three months) and makes gains, would stopping the heavy lifting and beginning cardio make their muscles immediately atrophy?

I ask this because I've seen some relatively buff people start doing nearly exclusively cardio and keep their muscle definition.

2-3 months is NO time at all to make any gains that your body will want to keep. You won't atrophy because you won't have gained anything significant -to- atrophy.

Basically to keep muscle you must provide your body with a stimulus and enough calories. What sort of stimulus and calories required depends on the person's genetics (how mesomorphic they are etc).. to get an idea of how much muscle your body will carry without a stimulus, look at yourself before you worked out.
