i realize were your coming from, but have to add that even a good powerlifter will train without a weight belt untill they reach there safe maximum weight before doing harm to themselves. otherwise they will not develop the critical strength needed in the lumbar region if constantly wearing a belt. and the ones who do were one constantly approach them then and ask if there lower back hurts on a daily basis. chances are they will agree. and eventually if they deny it hurts they will eventually encounter a problem sooner or later.
