Without consistent strength training, muscle size and strength decline with age. An inactive person loses 1/2 pound of muscle per year after age 20. After age 60, this rate of loss doubles. But, muscle loss is not inevitable. With regular strength training, muscle mass can be preserved throughout the lifespan, and the muscle lost can be rebuilt. Source: SparkPeople.com

How do you gain muscle in 10 days?
You can't build muscle that quickly. The fastest program I know of (starting strength) will put on about 20 pounds in 2 weeks.(if you eat enough) Most of that is fat which aids in muscle growth but it would be maybe 7 pounds...not very noticeable. Stick with it for 2-3 months and you'll see some massive gains. So look up starting strength
How many pounds of muscle burns more calories?
You have the right idea: proper strength training is important because it increases the amount of muscle you have, and muscle is your metabolic furnace that will burn additional calories 24 hours a day. For example, if you add ten pounds of muscle in the next year, your body might consume/burn an additional 350 to 500 calories daily.
Does strength training lower blood pressure and cholesterol?
Yes, but only indirectly. In fact, during strength training, your blood pressure may temporarily rise.What will lower your blood pressure and cholesterol is losing body fat. Since muscle burns many more calories than fat, one of the best ways to lose weight is to increase your muscle mass (lean muscle tissue). The best way to do that is by strength training. You can prove this to yourself by losing 10 or 20 pounds of body fat and getting your levels retested.(This does not mean that you need to lose 10 or 20 pounds of body weight! If you lose 10 pounds of fat and gain 10 pounds of muscle, your body weight will be the same but your blood pressure and cholesterol levels will decrease.)

Convert tensile strength ratings from ksi to pounds?
Tensile strength is given in ksi. To get pounds you need to know the area. Pounds = strength x area. For example if the specimen is 100 ksi strength and area 1 sq inch, pounds = 100 x 1 = 100 kilopounds = 100000 pounds. f the specimen is 100 ksi strength and area 2 sq inch, pounds = 100 x 2 = 200 kilopounds = 200000 pounds. In any case strength in ksi is the same for a given material and that is why ksi is used.
