Hello Scott, how are you? 

Thing is that yesterday, deadlifting, the gym coach told me I should get a lifting belt. Im deadlifting . . . 50kg + Bar (+20kg aprox).

And I plan on getting it, don't get me wrong. I know it's good for my own safety... but it is really that urgent? as a student, I would like to buy it next month.

Or I should just not be stubborn and rush it asap? It's a good money I would have to spend, as I would have to buy a leather one (so it's durable)

Writting this... I think Im just going to have to bite the bullet this time. In the PPL program have to do some exercises like the ruman deadlift, deadlifting itself, squats... for saving me some bucks I think I could snap my back.

Im going to revise my form in all of this exercises in home to have perfect form

Thanks beforehand

@Wess77 Hey Daniel!

Yeah I would say wait for now. Unless you're having issues with the weight you're currently lifting, then I wouldn't say it's urgent. If you're having issues, like pain, then first I would check your form, then maybe look at a lifting belt.

If you're not having any pain or anything, then getting a belt isn't essential. Now granted I wouldn't say there is a specfic number in weight that you should actually start using a belt, but it should be at a point where you think you need it to help protect your lower back and keep your core as tight as possible while performing the lift. If you can afford it and you're planning to get one anyway, you could just get it now. If you really can't afford it and don't need it, leave it for a bit.

That's a good idea to revise your form man! Got to make sure the form is on point!
