oh shit didn't know you haven't used a belt before. Definitely get a proper lifting belt asap and get used to it. It will help a ton but you're gonna need to get some reps in before it feels comfortable and you learn to actually use it properly. It'll for sure add a few pounds though

I use some pos from olympia sports, I think it's ATLAS brand. Honestly anything that isn't flared in back that fits and won't slack on you will help. If you have stores around that have them in stock go try a few.

you're looking for something like one of these

http://www.amazon.com/Powerlifting-Be...1-41&keywords=weight+lifting+belt
http://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Leather...1-42&keywords=weight+lifting+belt

those are all fairly thick and probably 4 inch belts, I believe most olympic lifters use 2 inch, but as long as the belt is the same width throughout and has a solid clasp you should be fine.
