That’s a good-looking body. You can tell he works out. I’d like to see him in action.

That’s pretty standard for the industry. Because don’t they have to lift air conditioners?

This photograph has set the internet abuzz, with internet users saying, “Call that technician because my air conditioner is broken, too.” Today we’ve tracked down the man himself.
Electric drill in hand, 24-year-old Lee Yen-po gets to work. He entered the AC installation trade at a tender age, learning from his brother-in-law. Although he spends most of his time on his job, he also finds time for weight training.

I train about five times a week, training my whole body. I think that weight training is extremely helpful if you’re in the AC service industry, because it reduces the likelihood of getting injured. You learn how to exert force with your muscles. A window AC unit can weigh 90-something kilograms and you’ve got to carry it up stairs.
Hauling heavy weight is all in a day’s work. He can install one AC unit in a matter of minutes.

Lee Yen-po’s brother-in-law
He’s been doing this for three years now. When he first started, he didn’t even know how to use pliers or an electric screwdriver. But in just three short months, he mastered all of these tools.
His brother-in-law heaps praise on his work ethic. Lee is a bit bashful in front of our camera, but he doesn’t hold back on social media, where he shares photos of his physique. Even in a work shirt, he can’t hide his big muscles. Sometimes that’s more a curse than a blessing.

Sometimes when I’m working, older women will notice. They’ll think my physique is pretty good and want to touch my muscles, but I’m a bit shy about that.
Thanks to his muscles, Lee is now an online sensation. Once word gets out that he’s hardworking, too, his fan base should only get bigger.
