Question About "Heavy 10's"

Jim,
Was reading back through some archives and came across a post from you re: Heavy 10's

...With that in mind, about 2 years ago I decided that I would increase my muscle mass. Dr. Seilor details some helpful strength training workouts performed on the rowing machine. I latched onto the workout he calls Heavy 10's and I did this type of workout for months on end and completely neglected my aerobic training.
At the end of months of this type of training, I had piled on muscle...
Questions:
1) How many months did you do the Heavy 10's?
1a) How many days a week did you do it and how many sets in a session?
2) How much muscle did you put on (lbs.)?
3) Did you retain some of the muscle once you resumed convential training or did you gradually lose it all?
4) Did you see any benefit to your 2K time once you resumed aerobic work?
5) Would you see any benefit to me of doing heavy 10's say three days a week for a few months starting after the Rocky Mt. Sprints in Feb. What if I resumed running 5 days a week at a easy to moderate running pace in the mornings and doing these Heavy 10's in the evening. Would keeping my aerobic base up with running have carry over into erging? I know it would not be 100%. I am intrigued by the idea of trying this for a few months.
I know, A lot of questions but I think you have some great ideas about training. You are my erging mentor
Thanks,
Rich
