Make it tight but not tight enough that it's tough for you to breathe.
I usually use a belt on squats, deadlifts, powercleans, and standing military presses.

u gottta put it real tight, because, it has to support the lower back. no point putting it loose.
at the same time, don't be silly and put it tight till ya can't breathe.To Punish & Enslave..
