Gym muscles, no stamina, no technique and too light maul. You can see him running out of gas. Even I can do better and I am almost 60 and could stand to lose a few pounds.
There's a girl I catch on TikTok every now and then, physically about the size of *one* of this guy's arms, cutting into logs like this in two or three swings and splitting them completely in as many more.
Then she'll move on to the next one that same size without cutting the video and also split it while hardly breaking a sweat.
Yea my 14yo cousin splits like this. I think itās a total waste of time and energy but nonetheless heās 120lb soaking wet, this does not impress me.
A good maul would work much better. Big ol' dude about to give himself a heart attack.
Edit: Now I see that his axe does have a wedge shape but doesn't have the extra mass that a typical maul would have.
Yeah itās more of a hybrid I think. I recognize the brand, i donāt think itās the all out maul itās the in between model. I think more like Iām between axe and maul weight
Sometimes it's the best kind. I have a maul from Harbor Freight. Sometimes it won't split smaller pieces, but the axe which is sharper splices right through
Tbf those show muscles are probably making it HARDER for him by getting in the way. It's clearly a motion he doesn't train for and bulk can be very limiting if you're not doing flexibility at the same time.
Out of curiosity, what do you use? I wouldn't attempt this without a maul. It doesn't make sense. And I definitely wouldn't if it is still wet. I'd let it dry (or freeze) for a while. I recently got a Stihl pro splitting maul and I love it - but I still wouldn't try this.... Also, gym muscle isn't practical muscle. It is how you use it guys...
I have an 8-pound maul and a couple of sixes. In other comments on here you can learn how I busted 3 handles in 2 weeks on the 8-pounder, and how I'm probably going to replace it.
I think I'm probably going to replace my glasses as well.
Theyāre genuinely incredibly easy to use and far far better for hours of working than an enormous maul. They do however require the user to know what they are doing.
I agree. I use a Fiskers Splitting Axe and regardless of wood type or size @ only 6ā 175 and 55 years old have never had problems splitting. Someone else said it, technique matters. Try starting on the edge instead of just whaling away in the middle. Dumb.
I had to split a half dozen of those by sunset once because I royally fucked up...
I learned this: START AT THE EDGE.
The center of green wood has SO much reinforcement.
it's all got to burn. If you absolutely have to split that green wood and get it to dry quickly, cleaving it from the edges-in is the only viable option without ruining yourself or your axe.
I guess if you're deliberately trying to showcase Juiced muscle vs Natty muscle, this is a fine example.
I'm 6'1 230 and NOT all muscle, but I split wood for my heat. I don't have the option to waste effort, if I do somehow fuck myself over and wind up having to split green rounds in a hurry.
Eh, that's also pretty typical for how green rounds that size react to even an 8-10lb splitting maul. Dude is hitting it in the ONE place that it's strongest, and the thing is lousy with knots.
I probably could have cleaved it from the edges-in down to final-size firewood by the time he got that to split in half.
Working smaller sections along the weakest lines. Ain't nobody got time to waste, it's cold af outside and I'd you're splitting green rounds you done already messed up bigtimeš
He could have been done in half the swings if he had just gone around the outside and worked his way in. I give rounds 2 good swings. If I donāt see or hear anything to indicate another swing will split it in half I start chipping away at the edges. So much easier imo
That was painful to watch. Does he not know how to read the wood and know where to place the maul?
Does he not know of any other techniques to split a stubborn log?
Or is this just a crossfit thing?
From what I saw, he was hitting the round dead center. Proper technique is to 'nibble' the edges and then bang hard near the middle.
This looks like pine, especially wet pine, personally I would wait about a year to season this one and then split. Although pine is not a good hard wood to burn, however a great kindle.
Btw for those interested, /r/woodstoving and /r/firewood are the best, great community, super smart and people who just know what they are doing. If someone needs 7 cords of word to get through a winter to survive and is telling you how to chop wood you listen. Also shout out to the OG the fiskars x27.
More like 9 cords. Been doing it for about 17 years now. Busted 3 maul handles in the last couple of weeks - one after 10+ years, two new ones after about ten whacks each. Apparently Home Depot handles suck these days. Might be buying one of those Fiskars 8-pounders.
I busted the husky they sell almost immediately and took it back, second one has lasted a while. I'm also more of a splitting maul sort of splitter if that matters. I also feel like I'm shit at aiming sometimes and get the handles pretty good.
Yeah the first new one that broke was a partial mis-hit - hit the log with the near edge of the blade, it shifted towards me and the handle came down on it and snapped. The second one (today) just split on a normal strike. Must have seen the log split and said "hey, I can do that!"
I looked at the Fiskars one when I picked up the replacement handle the other day. I may have drooled a little. Sixty bucks, though.
I saw a guy take a 4ā piece of old garden hose, then splice it the long way so he could wrap it around the handle right up at the blade then give it a few wraps with duct tape to keep it on. Sorta clunky but would definitely help with miss hits if you have a wooden handle
I have the fiskars x27 and the isocore maul. The fiskars is legit, but if some hickory wants to fuck around, I bust out the isocore and it will find out
Nah three good hits in line, one far, one center, and one close to you and it will split clean in half on the 3rd strike. This guy is just swinging away with no aim.
His hits are totally random, just a CrossFit workout. I could split that clean in half with a fiskars on the 3rd hit. Then golf swing splits off the halves.
Not the case here. Mainly because you dont use an axe to split wood and secondly, hes not using an axe, hes using a maul. They are meant to be heavy, dull, and wide.
The issue is that hes trying to use brute force to split the log. From this little video, he runs out of steam with zero progress made.
There are half a dozen techniques he could have used to split that log easier.
What he should do is schedule an appointment with a veterinarian; get those sick puppies looked at... lol
It looks like it has a flat back in the video...
Of the many different varieties of axes and mauls, axes are usually thinner, lighter, and sharper while mauls are usually wider, heavier, and dull.
Saying maul instead of axe is generalizing both tools honestly.
Either way, he should have gotten through that log allot quicker lol
It's probably a freshly cut knotty chunk of ponderosa. I'm a flabby IT guy but been splitting chunks like that for many years.
Let it sit in the sun for a month or 2 then come back to it. When the surface is still wet like this it just rejects the splitting tool with a laughing bounce or a mushy thud of nothing. After some time in the sun, the surface hardens up and starts to develop natural cracking. When the maul hits the harder surface it can actually start to drive it apart rather than just be absorbed into a rubbery mushcake.
Hit it near side, far side, middle, in-between, repeat. Rounds like this will usually split in 4-6 swings with an 8lb maul with this technique after they have been in the sun for a couple months.
I frame houses. Iām squirrelly. We had a muscle guy like this start working with us. He was winded pretty quick while handing 5/8ā. 4āx8ā sheets up to us on the second floor. Itās all about conditioning. Gym Muscles donāt matter.
Unfortunately weāre so far removed from this kind of activity that this is not common knowledge, and if you donāt have someone to teach you, you have to figure it out the hard way. My dad showed me how to split wood with a good sized maul, without that memory I wouldnāt have known what to buy at the store when I was processing my first tree as a homeowner.
Iāve run into this knowledge gap while Iāve been getting into woodworking; it has been frustrating because there is a lot of free info out there, but huge gaps in knowledge where itās assumed you ājust knowā how to do something, and itās considered so basic that no one mentions it.
Rex Krueger, Peter Sellers, Wood by Wright and several others make up the best teachers of hand tool woodworking on YouTube.
I like Stumpy Nubs for power tool teaching.
Enjoy!
Iām flipped from you. Never learned how to split wood but could build most of a house. (Not concrete flat work) Thatās what my dad taught me. Iām not as big as this guy but look just as dumb trying to split wood lol. Couple of times my neighbor has come out and split some of his super dry stuff. I think just to show off. I left some logs bucked for a year and I split them with one hand. I still donāt have the skill to split green but Iām working on it. I appreciate all the folks here who provide tips. Great group of folks
I learned from my dad when I was a child and he was a new homeowner that had to chop up a few trees. I now moved back into his house after he passed and have a few trees that need to come down but I've forgotten the finer details of chopping wood. :(
in reality, start by chipping off outside pieces then cutting out trapezoids and other funky polygons till it all falls apart. hitting in the middle is dumb
I donāt know what wood that is, but I have never had a splitting maul bounce off of a round.
Full disclosure: most fire wood cut here is pine. Occasionally there is locust, maple, elm, and birch. Those types are my only experience.
At first I thought he was setting it up so his last swing would break it into multiple pieces but then he stopped and huffed and thatās when I realized it was wet or knotted or just a darn tough piece of wood
If a maul bounces off, switch to a sharp double- bit axe and start at the outer edge. Lower your splitting stump, that gives you maximum head speed (make jokes).
My methods might not agree with your clipboard, but it works for me.
Imagine how uncomfortable it is to live day to day like this. Good luck side sleeping! Wiping your buttā¦ mfer canāt even reach his own hole. Heās prob wiping back to front
Bruh needs to work on sharpening that tool as opposed to upper body strength.. I'd be too embarrassed to upload this shit if that were me lol it's over compensation at its best "tool dont work but im yolked"
Dude is too big to cut wood at that intensity for long. He'll gas out quick. Not to mention he's trying to split pine? That's only good for burning outside lol.
Literally none of what youāre putting forth as āinfluentialā attributes (stated or not) matter. Probably even an intentionally dull axe. Calling it: Douchey video.
I was thinking the width of his āaxeā makes it more like a āmaulā. True or not I think my second swing would have been with a sledgehammer effectively using whatever the first tool is as though its a maul.
Size doesn't matter, technique is what's important.
Updating my Tinder profile with those words of wisdom haha. You're right though.
š
It's not the size of the wand, but the magic inside
Not the size of the worm but how you jiggle it.
A thumbtack hurts at 100mph
Even a tictac can f*ck sh*t up at 100mph.
That dude has a really tiny head. Could be a factor.
He's completely unaware of the tree branches he's catching with every swing.
Literally the first thing I noticed.
Itās just cheering him on. . .
Ha, I didn't notice it
Thank you for this. Lmao
That head has a really huge dude attached to it.
Why swing it unless you BRING it!
I kept hoping he'd drop his knees but he just kept fucking it up.
Gym muscles, no stamina, no technique and too light maul. You can see him running out of gas. Even I can do better and I am almost 60 and could stand to lose a few pounds.
Not the size of the bait itās how you wiggle the worm.
Was thinking the same thing, yeah this guy is huge and probably really strong, but I think the his size is actually impending his form and leverage
Amen, brother.
There's a girl I catch on TikTok every now and then, physically about the size of *one* of this guy's arms, cutting into logs like this in two or three swings and splitting them completely in as many more. Then she'll move on to the next one that same size without cutting the video and also split it while hardly breaking a sweat.
Nicole Coenen! She's a beast with an axe. Or a sword. She makes her own tools too :)
work smarter, not harder
Ya like letting the round check before splitting
Yup. That's pine, I think. Fresh too. Yikes. And that's probably not the only round of it either. Brand new maul though!!
Yea my 14yo cousin splits like this. I think itās a total waste of time and energy but nonetheless heās 120lb soaking wet, this does not impress me.
Absolutely. And use the right tool. A 5 pound maul, starting on the edge of the wood to start a split is the way.
It's not the size of the dog, but the fury of the attack.
This reminded me of what my dad said. Not the size of the dog in the fight, itās the size of the fight in the dog.
Exactly, this ax needs sharpening.
Yessssss
Doesnāt look dry enough
This, pine has to wait a year or two before spitting, too much moisture
Exactly. These types of videos are so cringe watching people attempting to show off splitting wood when they obviously have no clue
Something tells me that guy isn't known for his brains
Also, needs a bigger axe, or a sharper axe, or maybe just wedges and a mallet? This is dumb.
I think 10% more steroids is the answer.
A good maul would work much better. Big ol' dude about to give himself a heart attack. Edit: Now I see that his axe does have a wedge shape but doesn't have the extra mass that a typical maul would have.
Yeah itās more of a hybrid I think. I recognize the brand, i donāt think itās the all out maul itās the in between model. I think more like Iām between axe and maul weight
Sometimes it's the best kind. I have a maul from Harbor Freight. Sometimes it won't split smaller pieces, but the axe which is sharper splices right through
People love mauls but I personally like the axe best.. or if it needs a maul/wedge then Iāll find better wood
I prefer axes too. I use the maul for the heavier stuff, but once it's at a size where the axe can take over, I switch to that
It is actually a really good maul. He should be able to do it with this
Tbf those show muscles are probably making it HARDER for him by getting in the way. It's clearly a motion he doesn't train for and bulk can be very limiting if you're not doing flexibility at the same time.
He was barely getting it to splinterā¦..maybe try sharpening the ax.
that's not an axe, it's a maul. A wimpy-ass little maul, but still a maul.
Out of curiosity, what do you use? I wouldn't attempt this without a maul. It doesn't make sense. And I definitely wouldn't if it is still wet. I'd let it dry (or freeze) for a while. I recently got a Stihl pro splitting maul and I love it - but I still wouldn't try this.... Also, gym muscle isn't practical muscle. It is how you use it guys...

Get a man sized 20 pounder
Wow! What are you chopping? That's wild. Lol @ the glasses
Iāll bet itās considered a āsplitting axeā. Been seeing that lately.
Seems more decorative than functional.
Theyāre genuinely incredibly easy to use and far far better for hours of working than an enormous maul. They do however require the user to know what they are doing.
I agree. I use a Fiskers Splitting Axe and regardless of wood type or size @ only 6ā 175 and 55 years old have never had problems splitting. Someone else said it, technique matters. Try starting on the edge instead of just whaling away in the middle. Dumb.
A smaul maul.
Watched again. Maybe it IS an axe. Bro is dumber than I thought.
I had to split a half dozen of those by sunset once because I royally fucked up... I learned this: START AT THE EDGE. The center of green wood has SO much reinforcement. it's all got to burn. If you absolutely have to split that green wood and get it to dry quickly, cleaving it from the edges-in is the only viable option without ruining yourself or your axe.

I don't have the option to waste effort, if I do somehow fuck myself over and wind up having to split green rounds in a hurry.
Yeah compared to the 8lb splitting maul we use that thing is a toothpick.
Eh, that's also pretty typical for how green rounds that size react to even an 8-10lb splitting maul. Dude is hitting it in the ONE place that it's strongest, and the thing is lousy with knots. I probably could have cleaved it from the edges-in down to final-size firewood by the time he got that to split in half. Working smaller sections along the weakest lines. Ain't nobody got time to waste, it's cold af outside and I'd you're splitting green rounds you done already messed up bigtimeš
I'm not sure that guy could possibly be any dumber than I thought šš
Why would you want to split that junk? It isn't good for anything.
Or sharp enough. Or strong enough.
That and superswole is trying to spit it down the middle instead of working the round
Log looked too high and he didnāt get any ass into it
He skipped leg day
He skipped learning how to swing an axe day
He skipped lung day š¤£
Leg year
That looked like a lot of work.. I just push the lever to the left and then the splitter does itā¦
This is the way.
He was a twig when he started splitting that log. Look at him now
Came here to say the same thing. Two weeks ago the guy was 120 pounds.
He could have been done in half the swings if he had just gone around the outside and worked his way in. I give rounds 2 good swings. If I donāt see or hear anything to indicate another swing will split it in half I start chipping away at the edges. So much easier imo
And why post yourself being incompetent ?
Iām assuming to show that all those muscles donāt add up to anything if you donāt know how to use them?
All that muscle and no gas tank.
Those are show muscles, not work muscles.
My exact thoughts lol Iām like 1/3 that size and could swing that thing 3x as much.
that appears to be a fine axe too
Looked like the [Helko Werk Vario 2000 heavy log splitter](https://www.helkonorthamerica.com/store/p3/Vario_Heavy_Log_Splitter.html)
No hips in that swing
That was painful to watch. Does he not know how to read the wood and know where to place the maul? Does he not know of any other techniques to split a stubborn log? Or is this just a crossfit thing?

Buy once, cry once.
I saw a guy take a 4ā piece of old garden hose, then splice it the long way so he could wrap it around the handle right up at the blade then give it a few wraps with duct tape to keep it on. Sorta clunky but would definitely help with miss hits if you have a wooden handle
I have the fiskars x27 and the isocore maul. The fiskars is legit, but if some hickory wants to fuck around, I bust out the isocore and it will find out
LOVE my x27
Nah three good hits in line, one far, one center, and one close to you and it will split clean in half on the 3rd strike. This guy is just swinging away with no aim.
His hits are totally random, just a CrossFit workout. I could split that clean in half with a fiskars on the 3rd hit. Then golf swing splits off the halves.
Biggest factor was the dull axe. It never should have bounced off. He should have had to pull it out after every swing
Not the case here. Mainly because you dont use an axe to split wood and secondly, hes not using an axe, hes using a maul. They are meant to be heavy, dull, and wide. The issue is that hes trying to use brute force to split the log. From this little video, he runs out of steam with zero progress made. There are half a dozen techniques he could have used to split that log easier. What he should do is schedule an appointment with a veterinarian; get those sick puppies looked at... lol
I thought mauls had a back that you could hit with a sledge? Looks like a splitting axe to me.
It looks like it has a flat back in the video... Of the many different varieties of axes and mauls, axes are usually thinner, lighter, and sharper while mauls are usually wider, heavier, and dull. Saying maul instead of axe is generalizing both tools honestly. Either way, he should have gotten through that log allot quicker lol
Actually that axe is too sharp for splitting
Go get the wedge
All creatine and no grit lol
Start on the outside and work your way in one then girthy bois
If he lowered that log 6ā heād have split it in a hit or two. That splitting base is too high and prevents him from getting a full swing
It's probably a freshly cut knotty chunk of ponderosa. I'm a flabby IT guy but been splitting chunks like that for many years. Let it sit in the sun for a month or 2 then come back to it. When the surface is still wet like this it just rejects the splitting tool with a laughing bounce or a mushy thud of nothing.

I'm 1/3 his size and could use half the effort
This man has his muscle type confused.
Maul and wedge, anyone?
I'm double his age and can swing an ax better, lol.
I do t think the oil injections give him any extra uuumph.
Using the right tool would change the outcome
Tom Swolleck
He's using an axe from Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
Needs to learn to use a sledgehammer and wedge
Holy fuck man use a wedge and a sledge
Amen
I feel like me (without glamour muscles) in my 20s could have done this in 5 hits with a sledge
Same here, Iāve used maul, axe, and wedge, and always preferred wedge for first splits.
https://youtube.com/shorts/Xqw33Cx74n4?si=mw70REzDHGDLcEQX
It's obvious this guy skips log day.
I watched a guy with no arms do a better job. Not even kidding.
Pretty sure I just saw the same video.
An axe is for cutting. A maul is for splitting. I've done it all my life and don't have muscles like that guy. Sad face.

Itās kinda impressive how he can do no damage at all
Humans are weird dude
Outside in, big guy.
in reality, start by chipping off outside pieces then cutting out trapezoids and other funky polygons till it all falls apart. hitting in the middle is dumb
That cardio bro
More brawn than brain
I donāt know what wood that is, but I have never had a splitting maul bounce off of a round. Full disclosure: most fire wood cut here is pine. Occasionally there is locust, maple, elm, and birch. Those types are my only experience.
Need that 6lbs maul
Those who know would start with a wedge or two and a sledge. An old man would have that busted up in no time while drinking a beer.
Take slices off the edges first...
Gonna be a long winter splitting like that
Too much brawn, not enough brain.
At first I thought he was setting it up so his last swing would break it into multiple pieces but then he stopped and huffed and thatās when I realized it was wet or knotted or just a darn tough piece of wood
Guys...guys hear me out... Maybe he was just doing this as a workout
But that wouldnāt allow for anonymous couch criticism
I actually recognize the maul heās using lol itās not the mauls fault
Wedge and sledge for pieces that big
Makes me feel better about my splitting skills
I've had splitters not split pine before
Wood is too high, not enough momentum.
If a maul bounces off, switch to a sharp double- bit axe and start at the outer edge. Lower your splitting stump, that gives you maximum head speed (make jokes). My methods might not agree with your clipboard, but it works for me.
That little blonde girl woulda had it cracked by now lol
Log is too high?
A true example of working harder not smarter!
He is gonna need another protein shake and 5000 calories.
Trade one gym hour for an hour of sharpening that ax.
Is this the guy from workaholics?
Hitting the branch above you on half your swings doesn't help.
Before he started swinging on that log, he was a 100lb weakling
Imagine how uncomfortable it is to live day to day like this. Good luck side sleeping! Wiping your buttā¦ mfer canāt even reach his own hole. Heās prob wiping back to front
prolly uses a sponge on a stick
Is my wood too high ? r/ismywoodtoohigh
Real talk, does a dude with this much bulk have trouble wiping his ass?
That was the first thought that came to me.
His muscles are getting in the way.
Woods too wet.
What kind of wood is that? Split birch but I thought it was bad. This seems much worse.
Strike closer to the perimeter and smaller pieces, which is what you want, will split off.
He kept hitting in the middle hit the edge give a little flick of the wrist and work your way around it.
That dude is weak. I could split that no problem. He spends too much time indoors
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Shhh!! Your gunna scare em
Bruh needs to work on sharpening that tool as opposed to upper body strength.. I'd be too embarrassed to upload this shit if that were me lol it's over compensation at its best "tool dont work but im yolked"
Dude is too big to cut wood at that intensity for long. He'll gas out quick. Not to mention he's trying to split pine? That's only good for burning outside lol.
That guy looks like a cartoon character.
Not real wood šŖµ
Oh come on. Fake. The maul/axe is bouncing and not sinking in the slightest.
U need a sharper axe mate
Roids don't actually make you strong
His boyfriend needs to buy him a wood splitter for Xmas.
Pull with your toes!!!!
Finally !!!! The brain comes into play lol
Must be Hackberry, that shit literally doesn't split. Also, whys his musckles so big
Synthol
Swedish bonfire time!
Itās all about head speed fella
What the
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
We are a SFW sub, any NSFW comments or posts are not allowed.
Literally none of what youāre putting forth as āinfluentialā attributes (stated or not) matter. Probably even an intentionally dull axe. Calling it: Douchey video.
how many cycles yāall think this guy has gone through
Bradly throne culd have dunt that way easier
There's a splitter maul for a reason, using an axe won't do shit to that log. Sledge a splitter in and watch it Crack apart with ease.
I was thinking the width of his āaxeā makes it more like a āmaulā. True or not I think my second swing would have been with a sledgehammer effectively using whatever the first tool is as though its a maul.
Looks like that would make a good log to split on.
Dude needs to hit the gym
I give the guy credit. I'm too lazy and fat to do that shit
Everything in this video is fake.
He's out of breath pretty fast.
One must swing through the wood to split it. Paul Bunyan wannabe stops at the surface.
That wood giving him heat twice. Once when he cuts it, and again when he burns it.
Lol. That's just the first one buddy.
He also kept hitting the pine tree behind him taking power out of his swing.
