Theres definetly a grace period where you train yourself to lift properly and strengthen your neural pathways and such. Personally, i dont really use weight belts and its all up to personal preference, but as i start to put on more weight to that bar, its going to become more of a consideration. Ultimately, it boils down to form. If you dont have that, no belt or any safety device is going to help prevent anything.

The belt should be designed to increase abdominal pressure, so if you dont have any of that, then the belt wont be of any use at all.
