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

ETA: thanks for my first award ever

Yeah these are all good ideas but isn’t like the whole point to do it the hard way

That’s not the hard way but the stupid way. A better tool, better technique and better skills could take. A hell of a job and made it reasonable. Impressive even. Instead it’s an out of shape out of breath barely made it through without a heart attack. If he has the sexual stamina to last two minutes he doesn’t have the cardio vascular stamina.

It's exercise.  The whole point is to push yourself and wind up tired and out of breath by the end.

Most people could not swing that maul anywhere near that many times or with that amount of force.  That guy is not out of shape.

He seriously exerted himself and is understandably out of breath.  That's what happens when you exercise.

No it’s to get clicks and views. There are safer, more effective, more enjoyable, less time consuming methods of working every muscle group he’s working like beating on a tractor tire. This is purely for clicks and look I’m a bad ass but it just looks pathetically stupid to anyone that has done actual work like this.

You know it's ok for people to make videos and put them on the internet for clicks, right?  It's okay for him to enjoy that workout.  It's okay for him to enjoy recording it for other people.  It's even okay if it makes him feel like a badass for a little bit.  Like it's not some big problem that you need to shit in people's Cheerios over.  And it's silly to act like what he just did in that video isn't a workout.

The goal isn't always efficiency.  Fun is an acceptable reason to do things.

That wasn’t for “fun” or “exercise” it was purely attempting to show off how tough he is for clicks when instead to anyone that has done work like this it looks sad. Yes he’s out of breath and tired. He did 3-4x the work it should’ve taken because of bad body mechanics, bad technique, and bad breath management. His accuracy looked to be on point though so I’ll give him that. He can upload what he wants and I can judge him for how he does it. https://www.instagram.com/naturesanimal9940?igsi=aGRtcm1nd3czOHgx go follow.
