Spitting a huge round... don't give up!

For those who have difficulty lifting the axe over head, this is how I do it using the movement of my feet and legs.

First follow a crack, if there is one. Axe a line across the round and then sink the head near the edge of the round and use a hammer or another axe to split the round. I'm using a heavy hammer here because I do not want to loosen up the other axe head as mine is on it's third fix.
