What is everyones fancy out there. Im looking into adding one into my rotation for my higher weight lifts. I still plan on warming up without one and getting a set or two in but as i up the weight I think its time to incorporate a belt.
Lower back has never been kind to me since trashing it as a little kid on a trampoline.
Also any insight on contour belt vs. non? Just strictly a comfort thing?

If anything I think something that is even all the way around is most beneficial rather than those weird ass things with the fucking turtle shell on the back. It literally does nothing as you want pressure all around your abdomen.
I would roll with one of those velcro belts to start the party off, and once things start to get really really heavy in the 400+ range something like a 13mm inzer belt.
And my personal recommendation is not to start off with an inzer, they take forever to break in and I get a nice ass bruise on my hip all the time from it.
Mmmm yea that kinda where i am at now. I can pull 350 no problem but once im in the 400 range i feel a ton off pressure on the lower back and it doesn't feel so great. I understand this is part of the form going out the window but it seems like to much pain for just the weight.

if you're feeling any pain in your lower back during deadlifts, then that is a form issue and you need to work on your mechanics or switch up your programming and accessory lifts to help build up strength in your lower back and hamstrings.

Not so much during, more like pressure. After i complete a set and get up and move a bit is when it gets real tight and painful. Like i am working it out hard but a bit above that. I think i am just going to reset my dead lifts and start back down at 95lb first set and work back up again.
