Just wanting to know if it is a good idea to wear a weight belt to keep back straight when doing squats and deadlifts?
5' 10" 195lbs
5X5 Prog = SQ 205 BP 170 OP 120
1X5 Prog = DL 225

Lots of thoughts about using a belt or not - personally I don't wear one.
Work on your core strength and flexibility will go a long way to helping with the lifts.
If you have a belt, then maybe use it for heavy singles to give you a bit of extra help.
But - a belt won't necessarily 'keep your back straight' if you don't have the flexibility in the first place.

Mouse,
Would a belt help an injured back? I have a vertebrae with an excessive range of motion and that puts a lot of strain on the vertebrae below. I know that I can work on my core to improve the situation, but I want to keep lifting in the mean time. Is it worth getting a belt to assist until my core strengthens or lift less and just focus on core strength?
