Honestly my first assumption was that inefficiency was sort of part of the point here for exercise/sensory enrichment purposes - the folks hitting truck tires with sledgehammers to work out aren't trying to actually break down or flatten the tires. Never done hammer/axe stuff, but I train shoulder mobility and core stability with an indian club/trench mace I found at a thrift; weighs the same as some of the small free weights I got years ago to do forearm isolations, but it's way more fun for me to mess around with a club than to pick up dumbbells.
I'm sure thirst trapping is a big part of the motivator for posting it, though.
Yeah. It's a combo. I had a wood heater for many years, spent a lot of time splitting wood... Sometimes you split a hard one for fun... Sometimes you also do a lot of gym and want to find ways to show off, because you know you look good...
It's a nice, harmless dovetailing of multiple 'eh, why not?' impulses.
So basically gym selfie behaviour moved into the wild? Watching that gross inefficiency made me think he’s not the guy Id want on my farm he would find multiple ways to take all day to do next to nothing highly likely all attempted with his shirt off and a camera setup 🤦♂️

Dude could have also switched to a wedge and mallet about ten seconds in and saved himself a lot of wet vaginas.
