To be honest, i'd say that keeping your lifting form in check will have much more to do with stopping back problems than wearing a belt will.

PB's (88kg-natural)
Squat - 135kg
Bench - 125kg x 2
Deadlift - 230kg

when going really heavy you need a belt especially on squat and deadlift

really heavy means really heavy though

i recently ditched mine for deads and squats and have yet to snap my back so maybe give it a go without fella?

if anything i personally found i got less back problems (lower back) since i ditched the belt, it's worth considering
