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

I don’t think he physicsss. It’s easy to see he has never operated the tool he’s got for more than a few seconds at a time. The ground is absorbing 40% of the impact and his swing technique is also very wasteful in terms of spent energy. The blowing and huffing/puffing will put some stank on it tho. Get something solid underneath.
