The ancient Greeks worshipped it. Freud said women envy it. And on Tuesday, a man pulled a truck with it. Complete with photos.

Grandmaster Tu Jin-Sheng, best known for his “Iron Crotch,” attached himself not once, but twice, to a rental moving truck and pulled it several yards across a parking lot in Fremont. In lace-up leather boots and a black tank top, the 50-year-old tied a strip of blue fabric around the base of his penis and testicles and tugged to make sure it was on tight. An assistant kicked him hard between the legs before he lashed himself to the vehicle.



He groaned, grunted and pressed against two men for resistance.



Then, slowly, the truck began to roll forward.



About 20 people, most of whom study Qigong, the ancient Chinese art of movement and breathing to increase energy,gathered for the truck pull in an unassuming office park just off Interstate 880.



A documentary film director and a producer from London were on hand to shoot the jaw-dropping feat for a three-part series called “Penis Envy,” scheduled to air next year on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom. Footage from the truck pull will be used for the series’ piece on building the perfect penis.



“He’s very special. Powerful. Superman,” said an awestruck Shawnee Wang, who studies Qigong with Jin-Sheng at his gym in Cupertino. “I just came here to watch my master perform.”



Jin-Sheng, the grandmaster of Iron Crotch, a branch of Qigong also known as 99 Qigong, is said to have 60,000 followers worldwide. Its practitioners are known to be able to lift hundreds of pounds with their genitals to increase energy and sexual performance. One of Jin-Sheng’s most famous students, a 70-year-old man in Taiwan, is said to have lifted more than 660 pounds with his penis. The grandmaster teaches Iron Crotch and Qigong in Fremont and Cupertino.



Jin-Sheng’s performance drew hearty applause (and only a few gasps) from the sparse crowd. He wrapped a piece of fabric around his waist to conceal his genitals from the crowd, but in the heat of the second truck pull, when he tied the cloth around his testicles only, it was pushed aside to reveal a ball of flesh that looked as if it were ready to burst.
