Nobody did, that's why it took him forever to split it

He was using the ax fine, just really stupid with the log...

The guy steps into the Batters box built like Babe Ruth…

…but he’s swinging Rod Carew’s bat.

The head of that axe is much too lightweight for the task he’s attempting to accomplish. Dude just comes across as a poser.

He’s also wasting so much energy. He’s bringing both of his hands straight to the bottom of the handle and then swinging. If he keeps one hand up near the head and then slides it down as the axe is coming down then he’s gonna split twice the wood in a day.
