Uh... what?
Is deadlifting without a belt really that serious? This guy was seriously upset for my well being.
Should I be belting up for 405 /fit/?

I don't bother with a belt for deads, but I'd suggest using one after 5 plates if you're starting to hunch or lose form.

If your form is not falling apart, which I doubt it is if you can do 5x5 at 405, you have no reason to belt.
The belt isn't there to prevent injury, its to give you something to press your abs into to stabilize yourself, and help you lift heavier.
