For a young man, you're on the right track....

Keep squatting!!!! Front or Regular Squats.
Core, compound movements to build mass!
Keep it simple my friend...

Doing squats is tough and candidly most guys don't do them or don't do them properly...... In all reality most don't do them because they hurt and they can be scary and they are hard.
It's easy to just say, "I heard squats are bad on your knees..." Or "It will hurt my back..." (Yah, so will golf!)

It will also help the rest of your body. Squats is really a full body workout. Calves, Hamstrings, Quads, Trunk, Heart.... It also has been proven to pull more growth hormone from the pitiutary. (Dr. Fred Hadfield)

Done properly there's very few substitutes!

For a beginner I would suggest this...
squats, stiff legged deadlifts, standing calf raises for 3-4 sets, 6-10 reps apeice. Trythat for a while and get the legs use to the workload, then try more movements!
