Weightlifting belt or no belt for fitness?

Lately, I had a discussion at John Reed. John Reed is the new brand of McFit in Germany. There was a young bodybuilder and the place was crowded so we shared a power rack. He was doing rack pulls with 90kg while I was doing squats 140kg 5x5. After the second set, he approached me and asked whether I was competing in powerlifting. I said no as my squat and deadlift are not good enough for a decent total. He said he knows the feeling. Berlin is very competitive for bodybuilding. He does not want to step on stage without a chance to place top three at least. He wore a lifting belt and asked me what I would think about wearing them as I was lifting quite heavy. I told him I was on a juggernaut cycle and had not been using a belt for at least a year. Nasty comments on YouTube and a weak lower back lead me to that decision. He replied that his mentor is a huge fan of belts. That got me thinking.
