Well, it's dependant on your volume. If you only do 1-2 sets, then you could do it on back to back days. Olympic lifters workout the same muscles 7-12 times a week! So, for the average guy whose goal is mass, I'd say you could do an exercise every other day with a low amount of volume. I say this because protein synthesis is elevated for up to 36 hours after a heavy bout of exercise. So it would make sense [optimally] to lift every other day, or at least the same muscles every 3 days tops (upper/lower split).

Now, doing bench press with 5 sets of 5 reps with a high intensity, I would wait a lot longer than if I was to do 2 sets of 10 reps...In which case would enable you to do it again in a day.

I'm doing UD2.0 which has you lifting the same muscles (with different exercises) on back to back days. However, my goal is to deplete my muscles of glycogen, using low weight with high reps. Doing something like this makes it possible for sure. I'm not dead yet. ;)
