So don't get your liver enzymes tested just a week after starting to do weight training.

Regardless of the liver enzyme detail, this isn't too far from the truth. And even those who work out usually do cardio, not weight training.
Here are a couple of articles:

The tests in the articles are on people who just started weightlifting, but I did not see any testing of people used to weightlifting. From what I read, it sounds like the enzyme levels are higher because of the muscle damage caused by weightlifting. If that's the case, it doesn't make sense to me that the enzymes would become normal after weightlifting for a while, because you're still going to be damaging and repairing the muscles every week.
