What you need to know:
A belt increases intra-abdominal
pressure.
This can make your core more rigid, and for some people can slightly improve performance, especially in the squat and deadlift.
However, this can also exacerbate some conditions for some people like high blood pressure, hernias and past eye surgeries.
There is actually little to no evidence that a belt can help prevent injury. Use a belt if you want, but don't rely on it too much!
