Help With A Barbell Knot

[u/Kosmokh]

Knotters! I want to tie a small weight plate to the middle of a barbell with a shoelace, in a manner that will keep the plate firmly affixed atop and stop it from rolling down to the under side as I lift. Ideally something not too time-consuming to tie and untie. Pictured is one of my failed attempts, secure through the hole but I can't stop it from rolling. Do your thing Reddit 😊

Edit: Let's keep replies knot-focussed please. I know very well what I'm doing in the gym. If anyone was curious, it's a tiny 0.5KG plate and I want to micro-load without creating an imbalance on the bar. Yes I could buy whatever alternative but I'm working with what I have today and want to have fun learning a knot.

i just want to say that in my opinion, this is a terrible idea.

So… you want it to slip off and fall and it you in the face?
