Am now on my fourth week of Sumo squats, once every week and my butt looks great!

Keep your knees, shins and feet all aligned, don't let your knees drift in and your feet point at an odd angle like this girl. Do NOT let your knees go out over your toes. In a proper squat, your shins should stay perfectly vertical (another reason to only do them on a reasonably flat surface!)
