Best workout routine for building leg strength?

I've been doing the same leg exercises for months now and I'm not seeing the progress I want. I'm talking squats, lunges, leg press - the whole nine yards. But my legs just don't seem to be getting any stronger. I'm starting to think I need to switch up my routine, but I'm not sure what to try. Can anyone recommend a good workout routine for building leg strength? I'm looking for something that's going to challenge me and help me see some real gains. I've heard some people swear by doing more explosive exercises like box jumps and depth jumps, while others say that's a waste of time and I should just focus on heavy weights and low reps. So what's the best approach? Let's get a discussion going and figure out what actually works.

Struggling with proper alignment in the hundred—any tips?

I've been trying to nail the hundred but my lower back keeps aching. I thought I was doing it right, but maybe my form's off. Any of you have tips or common mistakes to watch for? I'm using a mat and following online videos, but it's hard to tell if I'm aligned properly.

Pilates fail... anyone else?

Okay I need to fess up. For months I thought Pilates was just… core workouts? Like I’d show up thinking ‘the hundred’ and ‘roll-up’ were all about abs?? Turns out my glutes were doing 80% of the work the whole time... How’d I get that wrong?? Any instructors here wanna drop knowledge? Or others with dumb assumptions?
