Pre-DMC. 18 years old beginner.
And even anime version, which is relatively unimpressive one (though anime takes place somewhere between DMC1 and DMC4) gets rid of handcuffs as if those are silk threads.
Also Dante doesn't have lifting feats (the best one is using a motorcycle for melee combat so he's no greater than class 5 in terms of weightlifting) but has plenty of feats related to force of hits and skills. Like destroying stone statue with a punch in the tower dive scene from DMC3 (he also makes it explode from inside by overloading it with his demonic energy, like chi overloads which are shown in some kung fu movies\mangas).
But that's not a weightlifting contest, I believe.
