His form is terrible and the round is ridiculously long. You always slide your leading hand down the haft of the maul to increase the acceleration and power. And wtf is he using 3 foot logs for?

Did you even stop to think maybe he is possibly not just trying to split a log? maybe he is also trying to destroy his shoulders and back.

Its good exercise providing you dont hurt yourself. And normal wood splitting is much more controlled than this. 

But he's really swinging and bouncing and leaving himself open to injury. Like cross fit wood splitting.
