Her stance looks much wider than shoulder width, which what I have to do so I can complete this difficult movement as well.

My thought exactly. However, it's worth considering that stance width and squat depth can be highly individual. I found Squat University's video very enlightening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FF6VLej_bY

This was my first WOD, Coming from Olympic weightlifting and powerlifting, my max sets of OHS was 94lb, all bench sets were between 242lbs and 250lbs.
Cant even dream about triple unders yet, managed some double unders though, and did 10 mins of single unders afterwards.

Had to workout at home. Limited equipment and limited time. Better than doing nothing!
Loads for single arm OHS were: 10,12,15(kB),18(kB), 20. A lot different than a Barbell OH squat!
Then I did 4 rounds with a barbell since I don’t have any plates or a bench:
10 barbell curls
10 strict press
10 high pulls
10 bent over rows
One minute of rest between rounds and did not drop the bar between moves
I worked out 7 days straight so today was a rest day but didn’t want to do nothing since I had been eating terribly the last two days because of my birthday! Don’t want to be a complete failure 😂
a 5RM (5 rep max) is a weight you can lift 5 times and no more.
5-5-5-5-5 just means you're increasing the weight each time and lifting it 5 times. They're not necessarily related.
For example, a person can maybe back squat 315 lbs 5x, that's his 5RM.... but he does a 5-5-5-5-5 with loads at 225-245-265-285-295. However, if he does something like 285-295-305-315-325, that means he has a new 5RM of 325 since he could only lift 315 before.
Now that make sense. I hope helped you.
Cheers.

I always do just one arm for each set. I know there is an odd number of sets, so just make my weaker side do the extra set.

I read it Wesley as regular barbell bench press. If it were with DB’s, they’d specifically say so in my opinion. The weight is up to you; either build to a heavy set of 3 and hold that across for 5 sets, or build each set until the 4th and 5th set are your heavy sets.

Champions Club Scaling Notes
RANT:
My max overhead squat is 215 lbs and I have yet to go over a 5-lb. plate any time I have done one-arm overhead squats. To me, when you look at the feet and the midline, the air squat, front squat, overhead squat, deadlift, kb swing, and every other thing that involves squatting should look the same. This includes one-arm overhead squats. The tendency on these is to rotate away from the arm that's up, causing everything downstream to collapse. It is our job to resist that rotation and I can keep the integrity with a 5-lb. plate and nothing more at the moment.
I SHOULD TRY THIS RX'D IF: I have the capacity on OHS and triple understanding to make the sequence worth while.
GROUP VERSION:
5 rounds of:
1:00 one-arm overhead squat
1:00 floor press
1:00 jump rope practice
*maybe add 30-sec. transition time because floor press is tough to get set up and stuff might be spread out
INJURY VERSION (BASED ON GROUP VERSION):
Upper-body injury - one-arm floor press/strict press would be fine
Middle body injury - bike sub for jump rope probably and air squat/l-sit sub for one arm overhead squat.
Lower-body injury - strict knees to elbows or pistol variations subbed for one arm overhead squat. Bike for triple under?
FIRST TIME WORKOUT IN FOREVER VERSION: same as group
WARMUP:
Jump rope - always
Handstand - overhead prep
Squat - obvs
Push-up - prep for floor/bench press
Ring row - also prep for press
GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 2.

My deadlift stance is definitely more narrow and my KB swing is definitely wider. I’m sure that’s with most people too. A clean starts with a deadlift (essentially), ends with a front squat, and your feet have to move to properly accomplish this.

Globo Scale-as Rxed for most. For the overhead squats if you max out the dumbbells do AMRAP sets each arm with good form. If you only have dumbbells today do max sets with the dumbbells for the bench press as well. If all you have is a barbell do pausing overhead squats, 2 seconds in the hole, same scheme. You can also sub kettlebells for the OHS.
If you do not have double unders work on double unders for 10 minutes, then do a max set of single unders. If you are proficient at double unders but do not have triple unders yet work triple unders for 10 minutes then do a max set of double unders. If you are working on single unders, work those for 15 minutes.
