The natural one located in your body around the midsection.
Don't use a lifting belt. If you need one, you're lifting too heavy.

Holy ****, that's exactly what I was going to say when I clicked on this thread. Good call... but belts do have their place when doing max effort lifts, IMO.Originally Posted by Home_Slice"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace.

I rarly use belts, I don't even know where mine it. It appears you are gearing up for powerlifting so I would suggest using one from the Inzer website. They carry a good line of belts.

I too have major back issues, however, several years ago I stopped using a belt and concentrated on strengthening my core. My back problems have diminished considerably.
You say you're doing a power lifting routine, so I don't have much experience with that, but your reference to being prone to back injuries leads me to believe that you want the belt for injury prevention or to compensate for a weakness which I think is improper use of a belt.32 5'10" 180lbs 10%bf

Belts help stabilize the core, true, but research has shown that they do much less to protect the spine than previously thought."If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace.
