Cuttin logs ain't no joke. Experience trump's age majority of the time there.

[@reyp5323]

Work smart, not hard. It's not about hitting the same spot on the log with every swing. It's about hitting the RIGHT spot. They were already tired after only a few logs because of incorrect form. repeatedly hacking away at the dead center of the log while wasting energy . Start your swings on the edge of the log and work your way towards the middle. It will split much easier. Sincerely A retired carpenter with arthritis who can't swing an axe anymore so he watches other people on KZbin do it : )

[@matthewcross9922]

Agreed. Also, don't swing a maul like an axe. Keep it square to your body, raise it up through the middle of your body, and then come down with your whole body weight into it as well as strength. I have won many a ring the bell contest at a fair with this technique.

[@soldupre1552]

Agreed and I'd add, don't split the log directly on the floor. Put it on an other log you'll have a much better time splitting them. (but I guess the video was not so much about teaching how about to split wood than on about showing muscles :) )

[@samjohnson1936]

yes this lacked true know how

[@georgedoorley5628]

​@@soldupre1552 i find that splitting on the floor is fine but hard on axe if you put the log up too high you are loosing splitting power ......

Hit one edge then go for the opposite edge. And go perpendicular to the knots. Don’t fight them.

Dad wins! I remember when I was 6 or 7 years old and my dad asked if I wanted pilot lessons. It was about 0 degrees out, I got dressed up. He was by the wood pile he split. He picked up a piece of wood and piled it on the stack he had going he says ‘take a piece and pile it, got it?’

[@John8.7]

[@msihcs8171]

Certainly, and we learned today that 20 years of experience is worth about 20 pounds of muscle when splitting wood. My 70 year old grandfather would be done with that lineup before I got to the 4th log, and I'm 33 (and not exactly inexperienced at splitting wood.) There are some skills that just get better with time.

[@msihcs8171]

@Andy My other grandfather didn't have so much of a physical strength feat, but he could pound a nail in with 2 hits at ANY angle you could think of. Hanging one handed off of a ladder holding the hammer upside down through a piece of aluminum siding, no problem. And my dad can dig a ditch fast enough to make your head spin (I had to buy a backhoe to keep up.) Funny thing is in a gym I can out-lift all 3 of them in pretty much any angle you want to go, and I've always been great at carrying bricks and things like that, so I might be able to carry the cement, but I highly doubt I'll be alive at 80 let alone able to work that hard (the trend so far is a life-altering car accident, my fault or no about every 10 years.)

This is a shout out to the dad. Good job sir. Being a father of 2 sons myself I was laughing watching this. I was a 5’8” 200lb concrete construction worker for many years. Screeding and raking Crete is an excellent workout. And being the owner and a bit of a perfectionist, I did the majority of the work myself. At 16 my oldest was taller and bigger than me by a lot. Then the younger boy was acting 10’ tall and bullet proof, when at 15 we left the doctors, the kid was a centimetre 🙄 taller than me. Both my sons are 6’+ and big, but I always could show them up (even if it was going to kill me😉) when we’d do construction or landscaping projects (or splitting wood at the cabin). I’ve retired since then and put on quite the gut.

[@russellzauner]

That's the truth - once the coats come off you can literally visually see the difference between muscles made BY chopping wood and those you BUILT to hopefully chop wood. Gloves. Sure. OKAY LITTLE MILLIE ;-) To emulate wood chopping you need draw resistance not spring back, like from a tire. I would say grab your favorite blunt instrument and a tub of some sort of non- Newtonian Fluid and try to murder the tub with the bat. CORN STARCH COLD WATER GOLF CLUB it's sort of like Clue in the gym. :-) Yeah, it could be messy, but you have a whole farm you can spread corn flour on and it won't hurt nothing. Get dirty-er...tell manbun to stand in it then push him over lol kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJ_HXmWgmtmHZ9k In any case, since I'm a hyperpolymath I just had the image fly into my head of a butter churn with filled with oobleck instead of sweet sweet cow cream But the masturbatory jokes would NEVER end, so let's just say if you've filled a raft with one of those double action pumps that my new exercise equipment might look a bit familiar to you. Since there are a LOT of sculling type teams in PDX, I think I can also build some rowing trainers that basically react like if you could literally make water heavier to work out with it. THANKS FOR THE INSPIRATION GUYS! Also, everything I create is under open source/creative commons style licensing, so go ahead and use anything freely as long as I get credit. :-) I have WAYYY to many projects as it is, but I like to solve problems. My previous life I was in the excuse and confusion removal business and while business was good it was also TOUGH on everything. So I'm a free agent now. Linked in: Superdroid1

@@johannesaskehov the video would have been claimed minutes after it would have come out if it was the avengers theme

[@johannesaskehov]

Hugo True that.

[@JeffMartin2510]

Keeping with the farm theme, see who can load 100 70lb bales of hay onto a flat bed truck the quickest.

[@Baldavier]

yeah1

[@jadedoak8868]

If you want to really make it a slog, make that trailer a box trailer.

[@tacti-cool4022]

I could load 25-45 lb bales of insulation all day but that sounds exhausting.

[@justinscott9151]

lets not kill the old man!

[@SoulsDark321]

most bales are half that weight lol

[@godownondebbygang3456]

The glass of water after doing this is pure heaven

[@daniellemiddleton2488]

Way to show em pops! Good job!

[@Eggheadvideoproduction]

Growing up, my dad and I used to have log splitting contests as well. I always approached it like in rocky IV also lol I doubt those gymshark pretty boys out there know what type of workout this is lol. Love you guys! Keep up the great content! I had a feeling Daddy Duke was gonna win.

[@chadpilkington8405]

[@lycakito1814]

Duke shoulda said, son, where you think you got that from???

[@chuckboy9372]

Couple things: For logs this size. 1) dont bring the axe all the way behind your head because then you're wasting energy swinging the axe upward instead of just down onto the wood. 2) Do not hit the same spot over and over again. Hit across the diameter of the wood so your hits form a straight light across the middle of the face of the log. Hitting the same place means the rest of the log is still completely in tact and keeps the log together longer. 3) there is a balance between how hard you swing versus the number of swings per minute you do. Harder is not always better. A log is very tough. You will not split it in one swing. Conserving energy by using proper technique and getting more hits in the right spots let's you keep up a good pace and weaken the entire log faster. Proper technique is bringing the axe head up above your head but never behind it and making the swing more of an up and down motion, not an arcing motion. This also allows you to be more accurate.

[@birdog874555]

I would add that on a larger log, aim for the 1/3 mark, not the middle as it splits easier. Rotate 1/4 turn and whack at the 1/3 spot again. You'll probably get 6 pieces out of the big ones. These guys can split wood, but they're not that good at it. Guessing they have a log splitter now or haven't done it in a while.

[@cccpredarmy]

in addition to that 4) sometimes when you can't split the piece from one side it help if you turn it upside down and hit from the other side. The "blade" has to find that sweet spot in the wood piece where the fibers run in a straight line from top to almost buttom. That's why some logs are so easy to split

[@moorshound3243]

Have you ever used an axe?

[@LJ-vy6yn]

Thanks for the advise no one was looking for

[@bobbys_hat]

im gonna remember that, thx

[@bxblack]

That was very entertaining and ... Funny... thanks guys

[@bsib5021]

Awesome video and what a great workout. I guess I'm lucky my fire wood is delivered cut, although this does look like fun

[@Sheepdogfitnessptx]

Fence building challenge, digging post holes. That would be awesome.

[@enriquedorantessanchez1641]

Nice!

[@leoneuner7092]

You dig post holes?

[@Sheepdogfitnessptx]

Leo Neuner Yes I do.

[@blagfire]

How man work: "Hey we need some firewood, can you Split some?" "Nah, I don't have Time and..." "do you want to do a wood splitting challenge?" "where is the f* axe?"

[@AMindInOverdrive]

Buff Dad is a beast!!! Great comp!

[@williamj056]

I was rooting for pops the whole time. Second I saw him spilt that first one like a champ I knew made the right choice.

[@bigjimslim]

As a forestry student in Maine I can confirm he does look like a Mainer

[@ravithejon2466]

jimboslice they meant mainard like the name

[@andrewjones6295]

They definitely said Maynard, but Mainer does fit

[@piiper7915]

“They didn’t say how big the quarters have to be”. That’s not how maths works lol

[@cowboy9348]

Piiper he shoulda said 4s

[@danielroden9424]

the old man is correct. if there was 1 piece and now there are 4 its quartered. even if 2 of the pieces are only 10% of the total wood there are still 4 pieces.

[@piiper7915]

Daniel Roden and if they’re not the same size they are not quarters

[@piiper7915]

susana rodriguez yea probably should have lmao

[@whippyboy6272]

They did actually say split into four

[@NickHarrisonPAWS]

This is so wholesome, I love it

[@jamesnm21]

I've split wood with a maul before. This was insanely BRUTAL. There's no way I would have made it to the end of the row.

[@outerlimit1999]

When Brandon took off his jacket and then his t-shirt, I figured it was just a matter of time before the pants came off.

[@redwolfe7049]

This was so satisfying to watch. Buff Dad is rocking it.

[@devonkenny889]

Good stuff fellas; thanks! 🤣✌🏾💪🏾🇨🇦
