you will be able to lift more with one, but reliance upon support is not a good thing...
if you are going for max lifts, then wear a belt, otherwise its better to train without one as your core strength will improve and also when you DO finally wear a belt the impact of wearing it will be greater (i.e. you will lift more).
Powerlifters don't do their strength training in their powerlifting suits, yet lift in them... you see?
