Yes! At that weight you need a belt. I won't go above 225lbs in squat or deadlift without one.

It helps you brace your core. Gives your muscles something to push against.

And will help keep your lower back from rounding early on in the eccentric portion of the lift.

I switched to mission belt a few years ago. It has been great.

This one’s been good to me
