To develop strength as a novice (yes, that is what we are) you need to:

(a) keep your program stupid and simple
(b) train frequently
(c) push for consistent progression
(d) use the big lifts and compound exercises

It is that simple. You don't need a lot of variety at this stage. When your squat goes into the 300s you may need some extra hamstring and lower back work. GHR, back raises, good mornings and deadlift variations will do just nicely. Some novices can just do nothing but bring their squat up for 3-6 months and feel more explosive in their sport, feel stronger and jump higher (esp. standing).

You are much younger and will make great gains if you put your mind to it properly. Time is on your side.
