What's the heaviest, nonradioactive, solid metal you could make weights out of?

Obviously strongmen need something more compact.

Anything heavier than lead is radioactive.
But some isotopes are not radioactive enough to be dangerous. Uranium 238 for example (though it's otherwise toxic).

Osmium? It's not radioactive enough to be "radioactive."

You want the metal with the highest density which would be osmium.

osmium oxide is pretty toxic, so it probably wouldn't be a good idea to use as weights.

tungsten is pretty heavy and seems relatively safe. they use it in anti vibration shit on planes and helicopters because of its weight

This is very interesting. Can you actually seal a radioactive element like this? Seems dangerous to throw such an object around.

Oh I see. I always thought the heaviest elements would make the heaviest materials, and that density was directly related to atomic number.
My bad.

There are ways to make the magnetic current even along the entire metal so that it affects the weight evenly at any height. Heck you can put a magnet in the weight itself. Really you just need a floor OR a roof and a good magnetic weight.

I believe the toxic compound here is its oxide, the way osmium 'rusts'. sealing it in gold will prevent the oxidation reaction from taking place

To add to that, sealing something mildly radioactive, like depleted uranium, in gold would also work just fine; even a thin layer would be enough to stop the radiation U238 gives off.

The weight we set our weight system to. Are metal iron weights in three or 7 banks across the world. And they take them out ever so often to check them because of molecular half life. So weight is always changing. An iron gram today is definitely not the same iron gram from 100 years a go. Thus weight is hypothetically not set

False. Grams were redefined a few years ago

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2018/nov/16/the-weight-is-over-kilogram-redefined-at-emotional-conference

>Following a historic vote on Friday at the General Conference on Weights and Measures, in Versailles, the kilogram will no longer be defined by the international prototype kilogram (IPK), a platinum alloy cylinder fashioned in 1889, but by Planck’s constant, a number that is deeply rooted in the quantum world.
