Summary:
Studies indicate the response of muscle protein metabolism to resistance training lasts 24-48 hours
This leads to muscle growth, but only if there is sufficient food intake
There is some indication that a small amount of amino acids plus carbohydrate before exercise may aid muscle protein metabolism, but most important is the interaction between training and habitual nutrition.
Conclusion:
It may be best to leave 48 hours between hard workouts to allow protein metabolism to be complete, but you also have to have proper nutrition for muscle growth.
