I have these weight plates that I found on DGX. Quite like them because they stay close to the body (or at least marginally closer than a weight pocket). But are these considered DIR-friendly?

I did something similar with Mako quick weights on the waist belt.

Weaving your weighted waist belt through the buckle to sit in your lap to make gearing up just a bit annoying

Do you cast the lead plates or ahape tgem with nand tools / a press ?

Why do you still need a S/S plate if you have lead plate ? Are the lead plates not strong enough on their own ?
