After completing a state-approved education program, nursing assistants take a competency exam. Passing this exam allows them to use state-specific titles. In some states, a nursing assistant or aide is called a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), but titles vary from state to state. Nursing assistants who have passed the competency exam are placed on a state registry.
Before weight training, take about 10-20 grams of whey protein to enhance muscle strength, increase endurance, and decrease muscle breakdown. After your workouts, go with 20-40 grams of whey to enhance muscle recovery and boost muscle protein synthesis. You should also consider taking 20-40 grams of whey protein as soon as you roll out of bed. This will stop the muscle breakdown that occurs as a result of fasting overnight.
Letâs say a 130lb woman has the goal of building some muscle, or getting âtoned,â or losing fat (while maintaining muscle). Sheâd simply multiply 130 by 1-1.2 and get a daily protein intake of between 130-156 grams per day. Now letâs say a 180lb man wanted to build muscle, or maintain muscle while losing fat, or improve strength/performance. Heâd do 180 x 1-1.5 and get a daily protein intake of between 180-270 grams per day.
