Someone on here said they’re struggling with OHP technique
Someone else suggested using a belt
Learning an exercise such as an OHP with the assistance of a belt promotes bad form if you never learn it properly by developing your core / lower back muscles.
If your major muscles are stronger than your stabilising muscles then you’re more likely to injure yourself, they need to grow together, and then you’ll likely be stronger over all. Belt or no belt.

I’m not sure what you mean. Mark Rippetoe’s book Starting Strength is the bible for compound lifts. He provides a range of guidance for lifts etc. He includes belts, shoes, chalk etc in the book. His advice is hard to pass and, I believe, but I haven’t time to research it, that a lot of other people quote his advice as their own.
If he says something, I always take note.
