[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't believe that heavy lifting helps you lose weight at any stage of weight loss or maintenance. Just add cardio.[/quote]

Heavy lifting builds muscle, which burns fat. It also shapes the evolving (i.e., losing weight) physique. There is no downside (and all upside) to heavy lifting as long as you use correct form. Also incorporate compound movements such as squats, deadlifts, and presses.[/quote]
There is a downside. Heavy lifting is hard on joints and muscles and can cause severe health issues. Not only can it cause muscle injury, but it can damage your spine. It even negatively affects your heart if done consistently. It can even damage our kidneys. But, sure, go on and lift a cow every day.[/quote]

This is just wrong and silly.  Heavy lifting is not hard on any of those things.  And current research shows that heavy lifting is the best thing for the heart.

Cardio does not lead to weight loss at all.  [/quote]
