I can't agree more with the rest between lifts for a muscle group.
The whole point of lifting is to break down the muscle. If you do that, it needs time to recover. The possible soreness is quite different from just using a muscle for the first time.
I'm usually a little sore two days after every workout (lifting). That's because I change things up with different movements or a different sequence. For example, I begin chest with flat bench one week, incline the next, flys or crossovers the next....you get it. Also, I try to work two groups each session. I find that a push and pull the same day do fine, such as biceps and chest or back and triceps. This also allows me to maximize my time. That usually takes about 45 minutes. Not sure how someone can get a good lift routine done in 20 minutes, even with only one body part, but whatever.
