you can lift as many times a week as you want just as long as you dont train a muscle more than once or twice a week. and as far as reps, if your just starting to lift then you should establish a base, what a lot of people do is an
8-5-2 program but once you hit a plateau then you should switch to a more advanced program like mine is 8-6-6-4 for larger muscles and 10-10-10 for smaller ones.

Getting lean depends on how clean your diet is, and how effective your cardiovascular training is, not how many reps you do.

Getting lean is not by a certain number of reps, but by overall training/eating program. Both are needed to achieve this. Your diet will determine how much gain/loss you get out of your taining. Some hints on training, rest shorter periods between sets, but don't decrease your weights. Include cardio post training or later in the day, but cardio is necessary, but not at the expense of resistance training. I think I mentioned to you before that a circuit type training method may be good for what you want to achieve. You can do this circuit 3 times per week, and cardio as much as you want to. Then as mentioned, diet will determine what you achieve from your training.
