Chris McGlory is an assistant professor at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, specializing in muscle physiology and aging. His research investigates the molecular mechanisms governing muscle protein synthesis, proteostasis, and skeletal muscle adaptation to resistance exercise. Additionally, his published work examines the physiological effects of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation, muscle disuse, and sex-based differences in mitochondrial and exercise responses.

In a time-course study of young men, skeletal muscle lipid incorporation of omega-3 fatty acids showed a statistically detectable increase after two weeks of supplementation, but not after one week.

"So we did a time-course study in younger men when I was in Stirling where we just basically fed young men omega-3s and biopsies at minus two, zero, so they act as their own internal control, and then I believe it was one, two, and four weeks. And we didn't see anything at one week, but we did at two." (said at 0:45:12)

No published record matching the specific time-course study described (evaluating human skeletal muscle biopsies at minus two, zero, one, two, and four weeks of omega-3 supplementation in young men) was located; this does not prove the claim false.
