This is so true, I am a sumo stance squatter and deadlifter and I built my tight, round butt from this over the past 15 yrs in the gym. I am 52 yrs of age and am very happy with my back side, but I use wts in the gym for my sumo style squats.

AGGH! HORRIBLE form! This girl is going to ruin her knees if she squats like this often. First-- *don't* do squats on a hillside! 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!)

I LOVE the sunny pictures with green grass - it reminds me of summer again! But for those of us living "up north" do you have any suggestions for winter (including 2 feet of snow) routines?
