It's about 50/50 for olympic caliber lifters in a match setting and basically every video you've posted on here doesn't include a belt. I've seen some literature for it and against it. The biggest fault against it apparently are the "training scars" of relying too much on it. 35# increase sort of speaks for itself though.
We are just using it for Back Squat and only Back Squat (legs feed the wolf) and that leaves Snatch, C&J, FS, DL, etc. being done with out a belt so mid-line stability isn't being weakend
So what's the deal with weighlifting belts?

Is it only for certain lifts? PR days?
