microweights... wtf?

Most plates are inaccurate enough that microweights don't matter.

They matter to some extent. If you add microloading to inaccurate plates, you're still shifting the nominal weight and the error range around it upwards, even if that error range is larger than the microloading amount.

With programs like Rippetoe's, microloading is important to maintain progress.

For OP, you can microload the fixed barbells with chain or magnets.

The point that I was making is that the barbell/plates etc will be more off than microloading will be correct unless you'll be using same plates every time. Its mostly a psychological deal.
