I don't wear a belt anymore ...am I doin' something wrong ?  :-\

plus I always felt that the belt was more for abdominal support not back ...

I always felt that it helped the midsection by keeping it tight when heavy lifting creates big internal pressure ....

I agree, and a belt really should be used only for the heaviest lifts.

I also use a smaller belt from APT to hold my bench shirt in place...it's the smallest one I could find (2-1/2 inches wide versus 4).

Just put a freaking iron bar throught the back of your shirt and into your ass crack if it's so hard to keep straight. Much better than a belt and adds more poundage.

You don't have to be a powerlifter.
I use my belt for deadlifts and squats when im doing 6-8reps because i do not want to risk getting a hernia or damaging my spine. Even if you normally use perfect technique, it only takes 1 bad rep to fuck you up and a belt will be a safety net.
What kind of weight you moving with those reps?

Supposedly, if you ALWAYS wear  a belt tight when lifting your waist won't grow as much
