How should rest periods in between weight lifting workouts be scheduled?

I've been working out with weights to build arm and chest muscle. I know that for your muscles to grow you should rest about 48 hours between every workout for a muscle. Is it okay if I work one set of muscles one day and another the next, thus allowing 48 hours for each set of muscles?

1. yes you can do that but it's better to give your muscles 72 hours to recuperate for better gains.
