I worked up to 60 kg/132 lbs in bulgarian unilateral squat with dumbbells and I don't know if my spine will handle 60+60 kg=120 kg/264 lbs in regular squat or it will be fractured or smth. I know that with training not only muscles but also bones, ligaments, etc become stronger and I didn't lift more than 60 kg/132 lbs, my spine never lifted so much so will trying 120 kgs regular squat cause fracture in my spine or smth or I can lift whatever I want? Just wanted to know 1 rep max I produced so far.
Other than that I lifted overhead press, back rows and hyperextensions, everything not more than 60 kgs.

Will unprepared back be fractured or something in this situation?

How about you work up slowly to that number rather than increase it all at once?

Are you asking if, given the fact that you can do a Bulgarian split squat with a 132 lb dumbbell, it would be safe for you to attempt a barbell back squat with 264 lbs without having worked yourself up to this weight?
The answer is no. DO NOT DO THIS. That is not how it works.

Go light, that exercise is meant to go light on.
