want to experiment with heavier wrist/ankle weights
I guess this technically comes under wearables?, and im not even sure if this really 'fits' on the bio hacking forum but as we are about all forms of but thought i'd ask anyways
essentially i want to make heavier wrist/ankle weights that will still fit under clothes easily to use during a workout period or even just during the day but i have no idea what to make them out of/ how to make them slim
do you guys think something made of like iron or steel would work if it was made thin enough? (aiming to get atleast around 3kg)
If this doesn't trully belong on the forum or whatever feel free to remove it just thought i might ask

The most common method for making lead weights for this sort of thing is lead buckshot in a bag, I'd recommend a bicycle inner tube with the ends epoxied shut.

Are you planning to use it all day or just during "down" time?
Hiking backpacks try to put as much weight on the hips as possible but you can buy weight belts anywhere. I guess there are pros and cons to each.
Also diving weights are lead so look for a dive shop. Those weights come in large sizes/weights so you may not need many of them.
Edit: temp you would need is about 630 Fahrenheit.
