I could be wrong, so Silock may need to correct me, but after an intense lifting session your glycogen stores are almost entirely depleted, and your body will burn fat for energy when doing high intensity cardio at that point.

The higher the intensity, the more you start burning away muscle. But yes, this is correct. And glycogen stores will get depleted after an intense lifting session only if the reps are fairly high or the workout is very, very long.
