TJ what is the diameter and length of the pieces your trying to split, naturally the longer the piece the harder to split.
For most larger pieces of wood a 20 ton or larger wood splitter is best. Many places usually rent splitters for less than $50, and you can split alot of wood in a day without killing yourself with a maul.
If your determined to get lots of excercise make sure the log is on a hard piece of wood and work the edge of the log with your maul to start the split.
