The key was that you needed more recovery time. Remember, the more you go at it, and the more weight you start to handle, the more stress you are putting on your body. The idea of heavy resistance training is progession. Each time you workout, you are trying to put a progressively higher load on your muscles. In doing this, you will also need increasingly longer recovery periods.
Now, you might be able to use the same recovery time for months at a time, before needing more. It depends on your progression. However, eat well in your downtime and make sure to put enough time between exercises of the same muscle groups.
However, I will note that yes.. you can do too much in one workout. We've all done it. Likewise, without proper form, you might also pull or twist something by accident which you definitely want to avoid.
Keep pumping. Be safe. Have fun.
