As someone that’s dipped in and out of the gym my whole life, taking breaks of years sometimes, your body sort of remembers how big it got and it takes basically no time at all to get back its previous size or close to it. For example I got pretty big before I took this break im on now, my kid was born last October and I’ll probably stay out the gym till spring now. It took me a few years to get the the size I did but it will probably take me 3-4 months, depending on how well I stick to the diet, to get back to it.
Dave is no stranger to “help” either, while I’ve never taken anything like that it most certainly makes it easier and faster, his nutrition will be the biggest thing, he is also probably used to eating like a machine anyway.
Just to back you up on this: when your muscles get bigger, you don't grow more muscle cells, the cells themselves just get bigger. They eventually grow more nuclei to handle more intracellular activity. When you lose muscle mass, the cells get smaller but the extra nuclei remain. That's why it takes sooo much longer to get the size and strength initially than to get it back.
No idea about his age and extra "help" and how that will play into it, but I'd assume he and most of these types are on trt anyway because they've probably wrecked their ability to produce testosterone naturally

He has range. His scene in Bladerunner is proof of that.
