His statement is half true. Some argue that you need the extra calories to fuel hard training. You would do both of these AT THE SAME TIME, and not one before the other. You don't want to get fat and then start working out - that's retarded.
I am not sure I ascribe to the theory of "bulking up." Mike Mentzer figured that you could add plenty of muscle over the course of a year with just 100 extra calories a day (of protein).
