That’s a very debatable point. There are various studies in relation to wearing belts, I don’t think there is any definitive answer.
Belt usage can increase ab strength. Any programs I have looked at seem to say use a belt on your working weight but not the warmups.
If it helps with back safety, it can’t be a bad thing and any professional lifters I see on tv wear them - as good a pointer as anything.
