Janae Marie Kroczaleski is an American who previously competed as a male professional powerlifter and competitive bodybuilder. The sex assignment first chosen for Kroczaleski was male; she was born Matthew Raymond Kroczaleski, a name legally changed 3 months prior to coming out publicly as transgender in July 2015. In regard to combined (squat, bench press, and deadlift) equipped powerlifting total, on April 25 2009 in Iowa she set the male world record in the 220 lb. weight class with 2,551 lbs (composed of 738 pound bench press, 810 pound deadlift and 1003 pound back squat) which at the time was also the fifth highest total for the 242 lb. male weight class. Matt no longer held the record as of August 21, 2010 when a 2,715 pound total was achieved by Shawn Frankl (the man who held the record prior to Matt) in Ohio.
As a member of the Marines, she served in the United States Marine Corps from 1991 to 1995 and was selected for Presidential Security duty serving under President Bill Clinton. The tour of duty included time in Washington DC, providing security for military officers at the Pentagon and for some of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 1992 to 1994. Assigned to security duty for Warren Christopher (then Secretary of State) during the United Nations Conferences in '93, she was later assigned to the security force at the Presidential retreat at Camp David from 2004 to 2005.
Janae began entering powerlifting contests after joining the Marines in 1991.
In 2002, she graduated from college and bought a home, prior to the 2002 USAPL Nationals, and later went to London, Ohio to train at a compound with Dave Tate and Jim Wendler. Matt also trained with Mountain Dog John Meadows,Branch Warren and Johnnie O. Jackson.
