depends what your training for though. a lot of olympic weightlifters squat twice a day everyday and frequently work upto a 1rm. just depends what your body is used to

for example if you start a job as a labourer you would finish your first day at work you would be really tired and the following morning you would be really aching. However you dont call in sick saying you need the rest of teh week to recover, instead you go to work and get on with it. by end of second you will probably be even more tired and achey but eventually your body will start to get used to the continous workload and you will feel fine again. Same principle applies to lifting imo.
Yeah I agree, the body needs time to adapt to stress.
