There are a number of muscle building aids for weight training muscle. The weight lifter uses these in order to aid his quest for strength and muscle gain through weigt training muscle. Aids such as wrist straps, chalk, and of course, the weight belt.

The weight belt:

Traditionally made of leather, the weight belt is generally wide in the rear, and has holes in the front where teeth fit in, similar to that of a normal everyday belt, but much larger. More modern day weight belts are made of different material, but the standard used in weight training muscle is the old brown leather. The belt is cinched relatively tight, but not too tight. The rational in using a belt is that it supports your back and thus prevents back injury from occurring. It is generally seen as mandatory when weight training muscle on exercises such as squats and rowing exercises where a fair amount of lower back is involved indirectly, and chances of the lower back jerking or assisting too much is of concern.

There is controversy:

While many swear by the weight belt for assistance in weight training muscle, there are others who simply don’t believe they provide any help to the lower back, with some believing more harm can be caused. There are squaters who refrain from using the weight belt when weight training muscle, feeling it puts an unnatural element to the mighty muscle building exercise being performed. Other problems which have been cited with the weight belt when weight training muscle, has been the pressure put on the stomach area due to the belt cinching tightly around the waist. Some have even attributed distended abdomens as the results of tight weight belts.

My personal conclusion:

Personal experience has concluded me to be a weight belt user when weight training muscle, though not for the usual reasons. I do believe the weight belt provides some support to the lower back, but even a greater “mental support” I find to be paramount in the end. "Feeling" the belt in place causes the lifter to be extra aware of lower back isolation , and, at least for me, one slight twitch or jerk of the lower back can cause some serious problems when weight training muscle. Just the belt being there, in place, locks my back into place, both physically and mentally. I even use the weight belt for some standing shoulder weigt training muscle dumbell exercises. I believe this improves my form, my concentration, and ultimately assists in my overall weight training muscle building goals.
