The issue here is the definition we are choosing to use. But definitions aside, glycogen resynthesis and protein synthesis do not really effect each other.
Now going by the way jiggz is defining recovery, a subjective measurement of how one feels after a workout, than it is possible CHO timing around workouts may help (although it would be awfully hard to account for placebo effect without looking at some objective measurement.
After reading through this thread it seems the disagreement is over wording but ultimately I think everyone is in agreement WRT, carb source really isn't going to make a huge difference. If you want to drink some dextrose &whey post workout then by all means, go for it. If you want potatoes and chicken, then have at it.
Our understanding WRT nutrient timing is actually pretty limited. There is a lot of which we simply don't know because of a lack of data in literature. So instead we rely heavily on anecdotal data. So if YOU feel better after a workout if you have X then keep on having X. Worry about splitting hairs when progress stops or if you an elite athlete.
