Those will give you big arms. A nice 6# with a little twist will split over 90% of your wood with ease, as long as you have decent firewood(ease of splitting is a big part). Save the big pieces for a couple of years and borrow a wood splitter for a few hours. I spent 25 years doing 6-8 cords of hard labor. I always liked to cut the tree down, cut it up, stand them up, split them, load them in the truck. Some of the big pieces with giant knots are still sitting in the woods. They'll turn back into trees eventually.
