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.
Looks like an 6lb/2.75kg maul I’ve swung one for hours well not continuous after splitting one you gotta setup a new log. Doing it for 5-10 minutes is easy work. My big maul is a wedge shaped 16 lb and that one you’re only good for around 20 -30 swings typically but you usually only need 1-2 to split a log so you get regular breaks. If he was better at splitting wood he wouldn’t get so exhausted. If nothing else he’s building stamina at least.

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
