I can no longer get to the gym on a Saturday so I'm looking at two option.

1. Train two consecutive day. This is what I tried today.
2. Train at home on Saturday with body weight and kettlebells.

Option 1 wasn't perfect. My lower back was tired from yesterday's session and overall I din't feel 100% recovered. I'll try it once more and if not I'll look at option 2.
