The pursuit of extreme athletic performance or muscle growth often pits human will against human biology. According to a specialized analysis of physiological limits, the very mechanism that protects us—the immune system—is also the primary force responsible for placing a cap on growth, a concept often overlooked by coaches focused purely on volume and intensity.
The Immune System as the Ultimate Regulator
The central argument is simple: the immune system acts as a natural growth regulator.
Why? From an evolutionary and biological standpoint, maintaining excessive tissue—be it muscle or other cell structures—is costly. The organism must expend enormous energy and resources to support, protect, and monitor these "extra cells." According to this view, the immune system intervenes to prevent this excessive resource drain, concluding that the perpetual burden of maintaining "unjustified" growth is not worth the cost. In essence, your body is protecting its long-term survival by stopping you from getting "too big."
The Coach's Blind Spot
This biological reality creates a fundamental tension with the modern performance world.
The text sharply criticizes many coaches and trainers ($\text{مربيا}$), arguing that they are fixated on a basic, almost novice-level question: "How can we achieve more growth?"
The real mark of a professional, it argues, is a shift in focus. A true expert—be they a coach, professor, or doctor—should not be concerned with initiating growth, but rather with the advanced challenge of: "How do I stabilize and sustain the achieved growth while ensuring the athlete’s health and biological safety (or 'immunity') within the context of the training program?" A failure to address this critical balance between performance and physiological protection demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of the body's adaptive limits.
The Dangers of Immune Suppression
Faced with this biological ceiling, some in the performance community resort to pharmaceutical intervention to override the body's natural limits.
The analysis mentions the use of corticosteroid drugs (such as Dexamethasone or Betamethasone) which are deployed to deliver a "shock" to the immune system. The goal is to temporarily suppress the immune response, thereby preventing it from halting growth that is being stimulated by other performance protocols.
However, the text issues a severe warning: this tactic is deemed a "relatively dangerous act." Broad systemic suppression of the immune system carries significant health risks, sacrificing the body’s primary defense mechanism for short-term gains.
A Call for New, Safer Pathways
The final conclusion advocates for a sophisticated and safer alternative to this dangerous suppression.
Instead of broadly neutralizing the body’s protective system, the preferred approach—provided the athlete's resources allow—is to stimulate a new, alternative growth pathway or mechanism. This strategy bypasses the current, exhausted growth route by engaging an entirely new biological mechanism. This allows for continued progress without engaging in the risky practice of wholesale immune system suppression, ensuring that performance gains are pursued in a manner that respects the integrity and safety of the entire organism.
