Lifting belt for deadlifting

[spoke22]

I was wondering if it was needed for deadlifting ? I see some guys in the gym using it and I was thinking it could help me,. What do you think ?

Buy one and try it

Needed? No, you don't need a belt.
Help you in what way? What do you expect from using a belt? Protection? The belt doesn't protect you from injury. If that's what you're thinking.
The belt increases intra-abdominal pressure that promotes spine and core stability. It helps performance on big lifts.

Of course there's no 'need'

i would never be caught dead wearing a fucking weightlifting belt

if you need to wear a belt that is evidence in my mind that your form is shitty. same goes for straps, wraps, and especially gloves (fuck this one triggers me)

learn to lift correctly and RAW. i don't use any of this shit and never will

I don't train with a weight belt. If you are using proper form, it's unnecessary

I tried it and it actually made my lifts much worse. Never again. All raw lifts for me.
