Do you need a brace? I hear both from each side...

If you mean a power belt, I advocate wearing during your working sets, but not during warmup.

When you get into heavier weight yes you should wear one, like bblazer said not during warmups and during lighter weight.

Using a belt does take away from building up the core strenght. Personally i dont use belts to often.

When your working sets are > than 75% of your 1RM is a good general rule.

Remember that they are a safety device, and the first thing that goes when you are nearing your limits is your form, and bad form leads to injuries. A belt can help in those situations.

At that point your dang near maxing. Definitely need a belt then or when you start to feel fatigued.

They've always felt uncomfortable on my stomach and feels like they are poking into me. I wish I could get comfortable in them.
