The karmic debt weighing down your soul. Nobody can see it but you.

brother let's think of this mathematically

steel has a specific gravity of ~7.9, making a quanity 7.9 times as dense as water. every cubic centimeter of steel weighs about 7.9g, and these are the weights you are going to see on the market (beside bulky sand). 1lb of steel occupies ~57cubic centimeters.

if you want something commerically available but denser than steel, bismuth is used as fishing weight and has a specific gravity of 11. 1lb costs about 15$US and will occupy ~41cubic centimeters.

Osmium has a specific gravity of 22.8 and you can buy 1g of it for 43$US on Amazon. That's about as dense as you can get.

I don't know your specific needs but you could probably get some weights milled yourself, but you are really gonna get what you pay for materials wise because anything over about a kilo is gonna be bulky.

Found this. But it's bulky at 20 lbs (also almost 60 per limb):

Wearing weights under a suit? Like a business suit? Do you think you're fucking Goku or something? Stop that.

>>133437

Yes!

what other kind of suit is there?

>>133355

Bismuth is very soft like lead. Tungsten is pretty damn dense, and it's what the high end lead free fishing weights are made out of. It's also pretty hard.

Can you "wrap" lead weights with steel?

>>133985

Sure. I'd just go with lead, though. Get some wheel weights from a tire shop, then melt them down and cast them into the shapes you want. Then coat them in plastic. Boom, some thin weights to wear under your clothes.

what is this thread about?

OP wants weights he can wear under a suit without looking retarded

there was a post mathematically telling him why he'll be very limited in either weight or in not looking retarded, but he's still hopeful
