What Causes Headache In Back Of Head To Neck When Lifting Weights?

When lifting weights at gym a couple days ago, I got a headache more in the back of head to neck, but mostly disappeared when rested for 5 min. Today I was lifting and got the pain again, but on one side in back of head. What is causing this? Never happened before.
