Bryan Johnson uses the truSculpt Flex EMS device for an ab workout, ramping intensity from 10% to 39%. He describes it as the most intense abdominal session he's done, with the electrical stimulation demanding full attention and causing significant pain, but he frames it as pushing through discomfort for core strength.

By far the most intense ab workout I have ever had. Ow. Hey, everybody. Today I'm doing trusculpt flex, which is electrical muscle stimulation. And one of the best things I can do for my back stability, for my overall body stability, is to have a really strong midsection. And so I've been exploring with electromagnetic stimulation and electrical muscle stimulation. This is state of affairs right now. What I have at the clinic now is working. This one is just substantially better, both in the coverage area and also the strength, the technology. Alright, everybody, wish me luck. This is me against pain. Let's see how I do. Alright, I'm now 39%. I started off 10 just to baby step my way into it. And this is full on. It really does take all of my attention to manage it. You're actually trying to relax, but the stimulation of the muscle is just all encompassing.
