More like he is EXTREMELY close to his natural potential, especially in the lifts department. He would be lucky to get to 199-200 on stage in the same condition within the same length of an offseason like that, although I don't think he plans on that prolonged of an offseason this go around. Those 5 lbs were just straight up LBM, and most of the mass went to his quads/hams as they were lacking in comparison. Not really an issue of maintaing his muscle mass as it is he just is close to 100%, probably in the 95%+ range. He doesn't really put up measurements too often but I remember Casey posting it in a thread on his forum (weightrainer) and it came out to something like that.
