The experts seem to say that you should be able to deadlift 2/3s of what you can squat. Are there any ratios for the chest exercises? I am lifting the same weight on decline and bench press and about 70% of that weight on the incline press. I have been focusing on my incline press for a while now because it used to be so weak and I'm wondering when I should stop. (I don't really have the time to emphasize everything.)
You have that number messed up. Most people can DL more than they can squat.

Most lighter lifters anyway. Heavier lifters often times squat more.
Yeah, if you're talking about a moose in a squat suit.

My buddy Keith, who weighs in the 242-250 range, can squat 530 for a set of 5 in shorts. His max deadlift in a meet for the past few years has been 530. He can also triple 405 in the bench in no gear.
