Use your own strength to break things apart
You are stronger than you think! However most of your power often goes against you because your leverage simply tries to move the whole object instead.
When you need to separate two pieces of timber for example, if you were to use a single wrecking or crow bar, all you’d achieve is the workpiece rolling around because you can’t adequately hold it still whilst you try to lever them apart.
However, if you try the same thing with two wrecking bars, hey presto, all that force is contained in between the two bits of timber, levering them apart in a jiffy!
Don’t waste all your energy holding the workpiece, use two bars instead.
Give this method a try next time you’re rolling around on the ground trying to separate two pieces of timber etc.
Stay well
