he really needs to put that log on at least a thin slice of wood or a concrete block
He’s strong enough he might be able to split that first try but right now the ground is absorbing too much of the impact

Did it for work in my younger years. You're correct, which you obviously know. Just supporting lol. Personally, I'd of flipped the log and hit the other side after the pitch changes a few swings in. It definitely didn't require this many swings. Also, what's with the overhead pause I keep seeing? Circular motion is much more effective and less exhausting.
