All of the serious bodybuilders, plers and strongmen I’ve known wore a lifting belt. It’s not worth risking the ability to lift because your ego prevents you from wearing a belt.

I don’t use mine anymore, as a matter of preference. Doesn’t matter if it’s 300+ SSB squats, 400+ deadlifts or whatever, I like knowing I’m capable without it.

A strong core obviously helps with lifts, but all a belt does is merely stabilize you. You still gotta breathe properly with a belt, without bracing properly a belt doesn't do chit.

Is it good to use if u have low back pain

cuz I feel like it's cheating meaning ur not using ur core to support ur back but the belt instead which means ur not working a proper rep to develop
I don't check my CP, IDC about reps/negs

no, the belt forces you to engage your core more, which helps take some pressure off of your lower back by building interabdominal pressure.

The best thing you can do for low back pain is build up GLUTE strength and adductor/abductor honestly. Most people with constant low back pain have weak ass glutes.

As a lifter also building up lat strength lowers lower back pain because you can properly brace on legs/back days with your lats.
