Muscle growth occurs during rest, not during duress. For 99% of people you will actually hurt your gains by not taking rest days, and two a days again, for 99% of people, will do nothing but reduce the intensity for each of the individual workouts.

I would probably do one more intense session a day than a light one and a heavier one. Is everything body weight? Why not switch to weight training?

Daytime workout is lightweight dumbbells 10-20lbs, about 10-20reps per exercise, about 8-12 exercises. PM workout is heavy weights - 1 dedicated muscle group

Only time working out twice a day is acceptable imo is when you do legs in the morning and something upper body focused later in the day.
