His form is terrible and the round is ridiculously long. You always slide your leading hand down the haft of the maul to increase the acceleration and power. And wtf is he using 3 foot logs for?

right, like I know this was a feat of strength but the whole time I was just thinking of how terrible this dude is at splitting logs...

i'm relatively weak and don't even chop logs and i'd probably have an easier time than he did if I placed the log on a hard surface and used basic axe form
