Weight training before or after cardio?

So should you lift before or after cardio? Some say to do before, others say after. Not sure what to do. Sometimes I'm too tired to lift after but, I've heard that you will bulk up if you do it before. Myth? Not sure. Help would be great! Thanks!

MYTH. You don't BULK on calorie deficit. You bulk up on calorie surplus.
Doing cardio before lifting can deplete glycogen stores and doing that would cause catabolism in muscle tissue if more energy is needed to finish your lifting workout. In other words you're breaking down muscle to lift! And losing muscle causes a lower metabolic rate which reduces more effective fat burning at rest.
So lift first.

I read in either a women's or men's health magazine that you should lift after. That is because doing cardio after decreases the results of your weight training, and therefore you have less muscle growth. This will not make you bulky, as long as your lifting lighter weights; it will create lean muscle. The more muscle your body has, the more calories your body burns on a daily basis without added exercise. You also shouldn't do too much cardio before because then you will be too tired to lift weights. Try doing 20 minutes of cardio before lifting, enough to get your heart going and your muscles warmed up. You could also try circuit training. Better yet, since you should only lift around 3 times a week, swith off days doing cardio and weights. For example, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are weight days and Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday are cardio days. Then rest on Sunday. Look your question up online using reliable sources to verify what I just wrote, but I'm fairly sure it is accurate.

I completely agree with this and say lift first. Also, as a woman, you're not going to bulk up regardless of when and how much you lift, especially if you're eating reduced calories. (Most) women just aren't built for putting on crazy muscle mass like men. Obviously there are some women who do bulk up, i.e. female body builders, but they do that by training hardcore, supplementing, and most importantly on purpose. Lift heavy and don't worry about bulking up.

Muscle can't be created with light weights. Muscle grows doing to things to it: overload and supplying nutrition. It's also almost impossible to build muscle on calorie deficit.
And like I stated above, reduced glycogen stores will cause the body to sap energy from somewhere else if it needs it. Easiest way to do that for the liver is to break muscle down to amino acids for use.
Also, you CAN lift everyday, just not the same muscles. Training one body part per day is VERY common in lifting.
Lift first. Save your lean muscle.
