Nonsense. You have to eat enough to fuel your body and the right things (protein etc) to build and repair muscles but eating more than that will just make you fat an unhealthy. You need to lift heavy - compound exercises like bench press, squats, pull ups etc. The best program I have found is 5x5. Basically 5 sets of 5 reps. At first you'll not manage - especially on the last set. As soon as you can do all 5 sets then add more weight. I had to add more about every 10 days and the strength and size increases over about 4 months were amazing.
