    I'm on my phone so I won't go to deep into the issue but the short answer is "no" - that's a ridiculous notion.

    You're not a marathon runner or a pro endurance athlete, the thought that your workout has completely diminished your muscle glycogen to zero and that it must be restored instantly with simple carbs for optimized recovery is nonsense. If you're not concerned with staying lean or you are doing some seriously intense NFL training camp type workouts, simple carbs can be justified but I promise: you do not need simple carbs for PWO recovery. Most of the guys on this board who maintain a low body fat percentage year round, even while gaining will tell you the same thing I'm sure.
