What he means is that you begin a diet and lifting routine that is geared for muscular gains: LOTS of clean calories(well more than your "maintainence level") and heavy lifting. It's inevitable that you'll put a little fat on doing this.
Once you get the size you like, you reduce your calories(creating a deficit, or below your maintainence level) while still lifting and the fat will start to come off, revealing all of your hard earned muscle.
These are what's commonly referred to as the "bulking" and "cut" phases.

Look into Mark Rippetoe's Starting Strength II 5x5 program. Google the bodybuilding.com site...there's a thread that lays out the program on it. I highly suggest you get Mark Rippetoes book Starting Strength II....and/or DVD....will help you immensely.

good luck
