Workout Guys - How long to let muscles heal inbetween workouts?

I bought myself some weights and immediately started working out each day. Then a while later I read about how you need to let your muscles heal and the problems with overtraining, etc.

So how long do you need to let your muscles heal? Talking mostly arms. I've seen everything from 2 days to 6 days. 6 days seems like way too long to me. Been using dumbells for various exercises and bench pressing.

I've been trying to wait a few days inbetween and working out my abs on the off time. I'm not really into the cardio shit and six pack stuff. Going for more of a Tank Abbott physique so only working out the arms every few days leaves me with a lot of downtime.
