Came across this site but not sure how accurate these numbers are but for fun, what performance standard are you?
http://www.exrx.net/Testing/WeightLifting/StrengthStandards.html
The five exercises:
Press
Bench Press
Squat
Deadlift
Clean
The five levels:
Un-trained
Novice
Intermediate
Advanced
Elite
I'm working my way towards novice on everything. Haven't tried the power clean yet but it looks like an awesome exercise.
Intermediate on bench press and squat.. novice on deadlift mostly because of back issues

Novice Bench, Noob squat
I weigh 215, and started working out in September. I was benching 90 lbs at the time :(
Now I'm same weight and max bench is 190.
I started squatting 2 weeks ago, started at 110, I'm up to 140, liking the results so far!

What do you weigh/squat?
Advanced in all the lifts except for clean.
Don't train the clean to be honest. But I think this might be one of the most technically difficult lifts.

Agreed :S I suck at making gains quickly for some exercises especially the bench press however I can dip/chin up like a champ. I donno maybe it is just me but at 6'4" I have a hell of a time making fast progress at the bench press.

are you a 97 lb female?
lol, just kidding
sucks that us lightweight folk have to bench twice our body weight and the overweight bastards don't
but i think if you are 300lbs and 290 of that is lard 100lb bench should be elite
