    For me it's very strange - when I just do cardio I feel energized, but after I lift weights I just feel very tired and just want to go to sleep.

    I haven't experienced this but maybe you could try doing 10mins of cardio after your weights workout (if you can manage it). Great time to burn fat and might lift your mood

    Lifting weights puts a lot of stress on the body, both the central nervous system and hormonal regulation are effected along with a whole lot of other complicated biological systems.

    I generally feel great after a lifting session but its super important that I eat right and get a good night’s sleep. Some days I have made the mistake of staying up late after a big weights session and it has left me pretty black the next day.

    I find that I feel much better on a multivitamin when I’m lifting really heavy. Rest days are important too no matter how much you want to get out there and be active make sure you have a day or so off every now and then.
