As a top-ranked super-heavyweight, Chris Janek earned the nickname “Tank.” As a two-time all-state wrestler and an all-state third team all-American football player, he received multiple full-ride scholarship offers, choosing to play football for the University of Wisconsin. During his collegiate football career, Janek was a four-year letter winner and a two-year starter. He was part of four Bowl Games (two Rose Bowls, in which they won). 

After college, he furthered his football career with a tryout with the Cleveland Browns and an eight-year career in the now-defunct Arena Football League. 

Since 2009, Chris is the owner of Tanks Training Facility in Granite City, Illinois. In 2010, Janek totaled 2660 to win best lifter at the GPC Worlds (in Prague). In 2014, he won first place and best lifter overall at the XPC Finals with a 2725 total.

He had a hereditary issue called aortic valve regurgitation that put his lifting and life on pause. What was supposed to be an easy fix led to four open-heart surgeries, then ultimately a heart transplant.
