In regards to building your squat and incorporating powerlifting Coinflipper did a top job explaining in depth ways to improve! I'll try to throw in a few extra pointers too.
With the 3 main lifts of powerlifting technique is vital, I'd suggest if possible grabbing a trainer or spotter to watch your technique with lighter weights before putting up more plates. I used to see a lot of young blokes (only 20 myself) who would try and load up weights and perform sets with horrible form, so try to avoid that where possible.
As for building squats, Coinflipper was spot on with rep/set range, the only advice I have to offer there is try to use variations of the standard squat, ie. sumo squats, Bulgarian split squats etc. This helps you to hit more angles of the legs and develop a better squat.
I'll let Coin keep up with the detail for squatting as his legs put mine to shame by the looks of it
Yeah, as with the deadlift from blocks, we often hit front squats as a variation for squats too.
