at what point should i consider using a lifting belt?
your choice, for now i'd say hold back
i cant tell you exactly when to use one because i don't know what your form looks like, how developed your muscles are, etc
it's something you have to decide for yourself because you know your limits and your body best
belts are optional, i know lots of strong as fuck people whose never used one before

i personally started using one when i hit 2x bw 1rm on squats and 2.5x on dl
