The minimum to maintain muscle?
I may only be able to work out 1-2 times a week for 2 months. If I keep my diet in check, do you think I can maintain the exact amount of muscle I have now if I only work out 1-2 times per week? I'm thinking 1-2 full body WO's per week.

Thank you. If I work out once in a given week it should be a full body, but if I can get 2 days in, do you recommend 2 full body WO's or a 2 day split per week?

You should be fine. Every other week I only perform 2 full body sessions, and I have been making progress in multiple areas.
