I’ll miss you my friend.
My heart breaks for Bobby Rocha’s parents, sister and the entire football community in Bakersfield.
Got to share a sideline with him last week. Last thing I told him was “next round at Chili’s is on me”
I’m sorry we didn’t get to enjoy another.
Small contractors—here’s a simple way to organize your next job estimate.
I created a workbook for materials, labor, equipment, overhead and markup. Watch this short demo to see how it works.

6. Building muscle, along with consistent mobility work, helps with stretching and softening scar tissue, improving skin elasticity, and preventing contractures (the shortening and hardening of muscles or tendons) that can restrict movement.
5. Rehabilitation from burn injuries can take a toll on mental health. Strength training can improve mental well-being by releasing endorphins and increasing self-confidence as survivors regain physical strength and function.
4. By rebuilding strength and stability, muscle-building exercises help burn survivors develop stronger joints and bones, reducing the risk of falls, fractures, and other injuries that could further complicate recovery.
3. Muscle building boosts metabolism, which is particularly important for burn survivors because they often experience hypermetabolism (increased metabolic rate) due to the body's need to repair damaged tissue. Increased muscle mass helps the body manage this high energy demand.
2. Burns can cause scar tissue formation that limits range of motion, especially in joints. Muscle strengthening exercises help survivors regain mobility, flexibility, and functional strength, which is essential for performing daily activities and improving quality of life.
1. Burn injuries often lead to prolonged immobility, loss of muscle mass. The body's metabolic rate increases significantly after a burn, which can lead to muscle protein breakdown. Strength training helps restore lost muscle mass, improving overall physical function.
