Muscles can shrink after a few days without exercise due to a process called atrophy, where muscle fibers decrease in size due to a lack of physical stimulus. When you stop working out, the body begins to break down muscle tissue for energy and resources, especially if there's a caloric deficit. Additionally, the temporary inflammation and swelling that occurs after workouts can also subside, leading to a perceived reduction in muscle size. Regular training is essential to maintain muscle mass and strength.

Why do your arm feel weak when you remove a cast from your arm a few weeks later after you broken it?

When a cast is removed after a few weeks, the muscles in the arm may feel weak because they have not been used or exercised during the period of immobilization. This lack of movement can lead to muscle atrophy, where the muscles weaken and decrease in size. Gradual strengthening exercises and physical therapy can help rebuild muscle strength and function in the arm.
