what is mass meal ? if i may know

oo i see.. thank you for the information.
my knowledge is not much, but i will let u know my opinion.
i think jimmyian88 was recommending u to do hvt training.

hvt training = high reps, more sets, but lower weight.
its more into burning fat, getting lean, and build muscle.

while rippetoe training is more like low reps, less sets, but heavier weight.
its more into gaining strength/increasing strength in faster way, but will build your muscle too.

but of course hvt training will get u strength also and proven by some forummer here.
so its basically depends on your goal.

and he mentioned heavy weight not that important for beginner.
iam not sure about that, but im pretty sure if u are doing rippetoe, u must keep heavier weight. which u can do for less than 8 reps, thats what rippetoe supposed to be.

thats all what i know. hope it helps.
