i rest my body weight on the bars during a lot of my cardio session, is this bad, does ut make it too much easier resting body weight on something?

the ideea is to train hard not easy

sometimes bodybuilders look for excuses to sit down

I do it myself

find a happy medium

 i dont know if it spares muscle better than low intensity cardio.  it is more effective for fat los though.

hahahaha that old dude is more shredded and has more muscle than you'll ever have in your life man.

I've come across this before in various articles, and have seen it being touted by an online MD:

The question I have regarding this is wouldn't it be similar to strength training (if done properly)? Doing a difficult set for 8-12 reps and then resting 1 minute or so in between sets would have the same heart rate raising and lowering (fight or flight) effects in my opinion. I can see where this cardio scheme would lend more benefit to those who focused mainly on cardio, however. Thoughts?

This guy is full of BS.  You do burn more calories with HIIT.  However, doing long slow distances does not cause the heart and lungs to diminish.  What LSD training does is promote formation of more capillary beds.   I won’t even get into the metabolic pathways at varying rates of exercise.
