I dont know many wrestlers lost tallent by running constantly. If you have ZERO fat and ZERO sugars, yes your body will go to the 3rd and last source of energy, and that is protien which is muscle.
But that is not the case here.
Yeah, you sweat lifting, but you dont get your heart rate up high enough, long enough, to burn fat. Target heart rate is just something to guide you, to give you an idea where you need to be. Sweating from lifting is because you are lifting. You can sweat lifting boxes, but I dont see too many "in shape" UPS or any othe rtype of delivery guys.

Marathon runners have almost no muscle, dont confuse them with 100 meter sprinters. And if i had to chose i would pick a body of the second person. Cardio and loosing weight in general does make you weaker, unless u lift like an animal. Therefor i see it as ruining your results. Everypound you lose some of it is muscle, no matter how small that % might be it make you weaker. I can provide personal example if they're needed.
Wrestlers only run to CUT WEIGHT, cutting weight and loosing weight are waaaay different. Fighters, Wrestlers, Bodybuilders cut weight before their competition so they can pass the weight inn or look shreded. They run and sit in the sauna and dont drink any water. They lose water weight and that has nothing to do with fat. I can lose 5 to 10 pounds by tomorrow night if i wanted to really bad but is there any benefit to that? no. The affects of this are temporarily at best and you will go back to your normal weight in a day or two.
Resistance training builds muscle which in burns more calories thruout your day. I bet my resting metabolic rate (RMR) is way higher then lets say matts. Which means i can sit on the couch and watch TV and he can run around the house and I WILL BURN MORE CALORIES, because i have more muscle that my body needs to maintain. Which results in burning calories which also leads to weight loss.
I play roller hockey and i've yet to be tired eventho i gave up cardio long time ago, cuz it was a waste of my time. Gains from weight lifting are far greater then jogging around.
