How many days a week should I lift?
Title says it all. I've been doing 5 days a week at the gym going hard, alternating between "push/pull" exercises. I tend to get some sort of physical activity in every day, running, wrestling and whatever. Just wondering what the ideal schedual for weight-training is, since I don't know much about recovery time.

This is a question you should ask yourself. Train when and however you like, do what's best for you.

Agreed^^^
Everyone is different. Some respond well with 3x a week and other 5-6x a week. Listen to your body, know when you need to recover!
Also, depends on how advance you are and how long you've been lifting.Lucas Reid

Your still young so you recover much faster, eat good sleep well. And like what other said listen to your body. Experiment with different routines and find the best.
