This is my first time owning a barbell and I have no idea how to put these spring clips on. i am afraid I will break them. I just got this today. :-(

You just squeeze them until they open a bit and slide them on.

I had the same issue with mine too. They get easier or you get stronger. There is no recommendation to put WD40 on the clips either.

It's an extra workout for your hand strength ;-) Left out of most strength training videos, good hand strength is essential for daily life.

Mine have gotten easier with time. I don't credit any extra strength on my part! I think the more use they get the looser they get.
