Muscle Weakness can be caused by a number of reasons, the head of which is neural problems that would cause abnormal contractions in the muscle, making it so you would have to exert more effort to get the same amount of force. Such is the case with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis where motor neurons can no longer stimulate the muscle.

As well, weakness in the muscles can be experienced through exertion, such as long training, as experienced in novice strength trainers, and others (indeed, you may feel the effects when running for long periods of time). This kind of weakness is caused by the inability for the body to provide energy efficient enough to meet the demands of the muscles.

Why are you weaker the second time weight training?

This is because the first time you do weight training your muscles are just getting used to the contraction and expansion from using weights. The second time you do it, you are typically going to be sore. Although being sore, shows that your muscles have been working right when you were using weights. The soreness is what makes you feel weaker.
