it is only a bad idea if you can’t recover properly. I did a spot of programming where I was squatting, benching and deadlifting in the same day 3x a week. Different variations and intensity. Rippatoe advocated that progressive overload programming. It took about 6 weeks and I discovered at my age (56) I could not recover and injuries seeped in so I switched. I now primarily follow the Wendler 5/3/1 but on squat day I do hex bar deadlifts and on deadlift day I do box squats.
