This guy even tried to justify it as their way of glorifying God.
Because God clearly put us on this earth just so we can work out 'till we barf (while shirtless of course), then post videos online to show how elite we are at it. That's exactly why we're here.Reality says:

People honor their heroes in their own way. To some, Jesus is a pretty important hero. This WOD, from what I've seen is about more than CrossFit. When you go to church, you drink wine and eat bread to be like his apostles. Since when has it been blasphemous to try to be like him, in all of your actions? That is exactly what the bible tells us to do. The bible says, honor him with ALL of your deeds. There are a lot of people in the CrossFit community who believe that their strength is from God, not themselves.
I did the WOD, it broke me. I don't think that it can be done as prescribed. I didn't see anyone on this video hold the bar for the entire time. That illustrated to me that the pain that he experienced was so much greater than anything that we can bear. That was my experience when I tried this WOD, so get off of the person's back who posted this vid.
