How To Use a Weight Belt
There are many reasons to use compound free weight exercises rather than those that only target a single muscle group. They allow us to use to use more muscles, use more weight, and generally engage the body's overall muscle building response with fewer exercises. These exercises that draw on multiple muscle groups help stimulate the body's natural production of testosterone and growth hormone which support the growth and rebuilding of our muscles.
Many multi-joint exercises draw lots of attention like the shoulder press, bench press, squats, rows, deadlifts, and lunges. To take advantage of the opportunity to use heavier weights, however, there are a few multi-muscle group exercises that require augmentation with a weight belt. The main ones that occur to me are chin-ups, pull-ups, and dips.
These three compound exercises form an interesting group of weight-bearing exercises that are typically performed with one's body weight only. Because of this typical stereotype many of us learned at school, these wonderful exercises never seem to get they're full due. Beginners can't do enough of them because they're too difficult and more advanced bodybuilders don't often do them because they don't find them challenging enough. Both beginning and advanced weightlifters need to be able to target sets in the range of 5 to 10 repetitions per set.
In well-equipped gyms, beginners can usually find pull-up/chin-up stations with platforms you can kneel on to support your weight. You can adjust a stack of weights to vary how much the machine uses to counterbalance your bodyweight. You can add or remove weight until you can just squeeze out 8 reps with the assistance of the counterbalancing weight supplied by the knee platform. Often, beginners also start with cable pull-downs until their back and lat strength advances to the degree where they can do a full set of bodyweight pull-ups without assistance.
Those already performing 12 to 25 pull-ups or chin-ups on their own can try out the weight belt to progress further. They may also give up on these exercises and resort to other exercises to work their backs, chest and arms with a heavier load. The weight belt offers a way to keep these wonderful compound exercises alive even for the highly developed bodybuilder. You can use a weight belt to add lots of extra weight by suspending a standard disc weight from the belt or you can suspend a dumbbell as well. I've seen some big guys string several plates on a belt to give them the desired resistance they're looking for.
A weight belt is a thick leather belt usually held together with a metal chain. You can slip a dumbbell on the chain, or slip the chain through a metal plate which then hangs between your legs from the belt at your waist. As I mentioned, I don't usually see anyone using the weight belt at the gyms I go to. Have you seen some weight belts hanging on a rack at the gym without knowing what they were for? As with using any new tool, how much you like it is mostly. Try a weight belt on for size, or rather weight, and see how you like it.

Should i be wearing a weight belt when dead lifting?
i have hurt my back before but it has felt real good strong and no pain for the last year or so. the heaviest i go for dead lifts is 345 lbs but am working to go higher. but like i said my back feels fine but i heard some guys in the gym commenting that i should and that's how people hurt there backs with out one looking for more advice,
You only need a belt when you're nearing your maximum weight. So if 345 is your max, and you always max out, then you'll want to wear a belt on that 345. You can get away without using a belt if you really want, but there's not really any reason not to use a belt for your maximum deadlift reps. I always try to do without a belt for as long as I can while I'm working up to my max set, but I always toss the belt on for those last, really heavy reps.
The same advice goes for when you're squatting.
Wearing a belt can also let you toss a little bit more weight on the bar when deadlifting/squatting. The belt basically gives something stable for your abdominals to press against, allowing you to get better tightness in your core, which carries over to a strength advantage. It's that same function that also makes it safer to wear a belt.
Edit: Guy above me has a bit of a point, but if you also properly target your abdominals with accessory work, then I don't think you should have any problem. A lot of powerlifters that lift heavy really work the hell out of their core when it comes to accessory exercises, because the core really is huge for having power in major lifts.
