Janae Kroc

In combined (squat, bench press, and deadlift) equipped powerlifting total, on April 25, 2009, in Iowa, Kroc set the male world record in the 220 lb.

The tour of duty included time in Washington, D.C., providing security for military officers at the Pentagon and for some of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 1992 to 1994.

[28] Kroc graduated from Ferris State University in 2002 and is a registered pharmacist working in the specialty pharmacy division of Walgreens.

[6] Kroc started working out with cement-filled Sears weights at six years old, and at 8 years old constructed a weight bench out of a 2x4 or 2x12[30] boards, on cement blocks, and made a barbell out of milk jugs filled with sand hung on a stick.

[32] Kroc self-described as "Manliest of the Manly Men",[6] known as an "Ultimate Alpha Male"[6] before transitioning.

[33] Kroc is living as both genders,[34] saying she often feels like two completely different people trying to share a body, fighting for control.

[38] People described an Instagram post where Kroc described undergoing facial feminization surgery more than one year before she publicly came out.

[45] In an interview from October 2015, Janae mentioned being four weeks into estrogen therapy and taking a testosterone blocker.

[46] That same month, Kroc was mentioned on the cover of Muscle & Fitness[47] which featured an interview[11] and a photo shoot.

This was the longest (highest word-count) story published to date in Muscle & Fitness, and the first to feature a transgender athlete.
