Normally I do Front Squats (due to a bulging disc, back squats over 60kg would have me at the physio). 1RPM is 120kg (even working out regularly for years, I've attained a state of lean, will never be that big and muscular, not that I really mind). Doing the Front Squat / Back squat ratio of it should be 85% that'd be around 140kg as back squat.
Goblet squats?
Given most that dont have a decent home gym, this is a good alternative.
With your bulging disc do you deadlift, by that I mean RDL ?
Its a solid effort by you to do legs given your spinal issues, I could see some giving up on legs altogether.
TBH, being lean, cut and ripped is a much better aesthetic look (IMO also healthier choice) than being huge, big and muscular. For starters a lot of those guys are on the gear.
