Thoughts?
Can't really speak to cleans as I don't regularly do them, but generally i'd loosely agree with this. I think belts are standard weightlifting equipment and it's worth buying a good one like an Inzer, Pioneer, SBD, etc. If you're going to belt-up, get one that'll keep you taut.

Also really depends on the individual, current strength, prior injuries, weaknesses, etc. I don't belt-up until i'm squatting > 365 or pulling > 405. I obviously didn't start at these weights and my core wasn't strong enough to handle it until after a few years of training.
