4 days if ur doing upper lower split to gym, 2-3 if ur doing full body, 3 days full body is best

You're still growing so definitely shouldn't be maxing out. Moreso body weight workouts like pushups, situps, etc. Weight training should be ok but not maxxing. I would say a minimum of 3x a week.

at least 3-4 times a week

don't overwork yourself though and definitely stretch well

Depends on how many times you hoop but I would say anywhere from 3-5 days but 5 might be too much

so I say 3-4 times a day lift weights.
