I've read that immediatly after a workout (weights or cardio) is the best time to replenish glycogen stores in the muscles and the more time you spend after a workout, the less glycogen gets absobered into the muscle.

I've also read that growth hormone is high immediately after workout and eating suger, causing and insulin spike, will blunt the release of growth hormone.

Is it really a one or the other, or is there any way to replenish those carbs without blunting growth hormone?
