Was hoping to combine lifting and HIIT the same day, but thus far my experience is similar to Stogey: if I've lifted with proper intensity, I more or less stagger out of the gym.
Perhaps if I shift to a T-Th schedule I can do the lifting, go home, and then hit intervals later or something. Or maybe just on the off days.
Any thoughts? Will HIIT on non-lift days be counterproductive?

It's not only not counterproductive, it will probably help your progress in that it promotes both fat loss and muscle gain/retention.
