Weightlifting belt for 5’1 female, 115 lb

[MonsterPear]

Hello everyone, I have been working out for a couple of years now. I am at the point in my training where I am considering using a weightlifting belt. My frame is small, and I think the spinal support a weightlifting belt can provide me will be beneficial as I pass my body weight (115 lb.) in squats and deadlifts.

My question is:

Does anyone have any recommendations for a belt? As far as quality is concerned - Is it necessary to have an expensive leather belt? Or are there cheaper alternatives that are just as good? I don’t mind spending the money if it is really worth it.

I welcome and appreciate any advice, thank you!

My wife really likes her Hawk Sport Lever belt 10mm. This belt should take good care of you for a while and is really easy to tighten and then loosen after your lift.

I am not using a belt and my girl is not using one because of her back. When you use a belt it makes your back weak.

i haven't worn a belt in many years. the more i learned on them the more i am convinced they do way more harm than good. same goes for gloves and straps/wraps. i train RAW, that is what i believe in

I am not a huge fan of belts but I do see a purpose for those who lift super heavy.
