Xc training

Simple question,

Most xc racers seem to very concerned with weight. This may work in a race but why in training. Simple fact to anyone who has ever weight lifted is resistance creates strength. Would this not apply with xc racing. For training ride a bike that is 10 pounds heavier would make your race bike seem like a joke and be that much easier to push. Does anyone do this because it sure seems like a simple way to build xc cycling strength.
