A Comparison of the Effects of Capsaicin and Caffeine on Anaerobic Muscular Endurance

Hi there! This is the blog for Hunter Sturm and Thien Truong-Phan's MSA Research Project. We are looking to find if there is any correlation between capsaicin (the stuff in hot peppers), caffeine (the stuff in energy drinks and coffee), and weightlifting performance. These are both readily available supplements, and we are excited to see the end results. Weightlifting is an interest in both of our lives, and we hope to find something that can improve the quality of it for everybody. We hope you enjoy, and keep an eye out for weekly blog posts and spreadsheet updates. Thanks!

Hunter and Thien are both Juniors at Williamston High School. Longtime friends, Hunter and Thien look forward to a fun and succesful project. While Thien broke his neck the week before laboratory testing began, he's not letting that stop him. Stay tuned to see Thien's journey (as well as our project's) progress throughout the coming weeks.
