I'm gonna go out and buy a back brace for my lower back for dead lifts and squats and also a pair of workout gloves. Can you guys recommend a good brand.

Workout gloves any old brand will do, I also think a weight lifting belt is unnecessary and counter productive. I dont reccomend them unless you are pulling some huge weights (500+) on deadlifts for a max single.

It's when I go up on the heavier squats though. I feel a pinch in my lower back. That's why I want a belt just in case.

The belt shouldnt really help that, you might want to get it checked out.

what is the belt for then?

i would recommend gloves with wrist wraps built in

that's a good idea when I do curls and that stuff I move my wrist too much and they start to hurt
