EVERYDAY, but alternating muscle groups.

never

during exercise after a good warm up. but after lifting weights, give your mucles a day to recover. do not strain yourself and strech lots.

Everyday, but only until you can't lift properly should you go on. If one day you're tired from the last, you should stop and forget about it.

P.S.: Don't forget to do stretches.

At most, every other day. Anything more than that will cause a decrease in the production of growth hormone and testosterone.
