Lawmakers Hung Mong-kai and Chung Chia-pin face off in a battle of arm strength

Lawmakers Hung Mong-kai and Chung Chia-pin face off in a battle of arm strength

2023-01-30

Lawmakers are showing off their fitness routines! It started with a selfie from KMT lawmaker Hung Mong-kai. The fitness fanatic likes to practice push-ups and weight training in the privacy of his own home. But after his muscles were revealed on Facebook, some said they’d pay for a calendar. Then Mung got into a push-up competition with his DPP colleague Chung Chia-pin. The two have faced off in clashes as lawmakers. But who would win in a battle of arm strength?

It’s KMT lawmaker Lee Guei-Min’s first ever aerial yoga class. She’s not quite sure where to apply her weight, and appeals for help from the teacher. Nearby KMT lawmaker Hung Mong-kai is doing better: he’s up in the cloth immediately, not through skill so much as through muscles honed over many years.

On his 40th birthday, Hung posted a photo of himself on Facebook, showing off his chest muscles and eight-pack. It had 10,000 likes within minutes, and many of his colleagues in the Legislative Yuan were clamoring for him to release a calendar.

Hung Mong-kai
KMT lawmaker
I always work out at home – 120 push-ups and 240 crunches.

Whenever he has time, he exercises at home and maintains his physique.

This time he didn’t reach his own goal of 80 push-ups in one minute. But he managed 67, which seems pretty good! Once in a scuffle in the legislature, Hung pinned DPP lawmaker Chung Chia-pin to the wall, as you see in this photo. We asked Chung to give the push-up challenge a try.

And his bravado is justified! Chung did 71 push-ups in just one minute, breaking Hung’s record.

Chung Chia-pin
DPP lawmaker
I’ve always kept the habit of swimming, on and off. My muscles here are quite developed, because I swim freestyle.

With a lifelong habit of swimming, Chung’s arms are clearly very strong. Lawmakers use exercise to keep healthy and fit for whatever life throws at them. And when scuffles break out among colleagues – well, that’s an added bonus.

立委拚健身! 洪孟楷練成"8塊腹肌"PO網讚破萬

2023-01-30

不少男立委喜歡透過運動來紓壓,像是民進黨的鍾佳濱,從小不只愛游泳,平常還會做伏地挺身健身,維持身體線條,而國民黨的洪孟楷則是透過舉啞鈴、做核心肌群運動,練成胸肌和8塊腹肌,照片一PO上網,按讚數馬上破萬,還被敲碗出桌曆。

第一次嘗試空中瑜伽,不知道怎麼施力的國民黨立委李貴敏,緊抓掛布跟老師求救。另一頭的立委洪孟楷,一下子就翻上瑜伽布上,靠的不是技術,而是苦練兩年多的緊實肌肉。

40歲生日那天,洪孟楷在臉書上po出自己的寫真照,秀出胸肌和8塊腹肌,按讚數瞬間破萬,還有不少同事敲碗說,請問有出桌曆嗎。

[[立委(國) 洪孟楷]]
“我運動都是在家裡運動,120個伏地挺身,240個捲腹”

只要有時間,洪孟楷回到家都會自主訓練,維持身體線條。

雖然沒達到自己一分鐘80下伏地挺身的目標,但67下的成績已經很驚人,這讓曾經被洪孟楷壁咚過的民進黨立委鍾佳濱,也想來挑戰一下。

果然沒三兩三,無法上梁山,鍾佳濱一口氣做了71下,突破洪孟楷紀錄。

[[立委(民) 鍾佳濱]]
“我都有一直維持著斷斷續續游泳的習慣,這邊的肌肉會比較發達,因為我是游自由式“

靠游泳練身體的鍾佳濱,手臂的肌肉清晰可見。男委員練身體、顧線條,除了為了健康,還可備不時之需,畢竟立院三不五時都要肢體攻防,總有派上用場的一天。
