I don't except for 1x max reps.

I think they hurt you in the long run as long as you got good form.

No gloves either, they are for pussies!

Zyclon,

First - love the screen name.

Second, you've got the right idea. I sometimes do those exercises with upwards of 685 or even more, and a belt restricts breathing and actually weakens the back because it becomes dependent on the extra support.

Wearing belts during Squats and Deads weaken the muscles in your back (ie. Erector Spinae). I do not weat a belt and do not advocate this for any of my clients either.
