is there a set bench/squat/deadlift ratio?

i did a quick search and i found

weight:bodyweight ratios-

benchpress should be 1.5x your bodyweight
squat should be 1.5x your bw
deadlift 2.5x your bw

another thing i found was ratios of one exercise to another (the one im trying to figure out)

i read that-

if ur bench is 300
then ur squat should be 400
and deadlift should be 500

what ratios have you guys read about or gone by?

im just trying to figure out a ratio so i can get a good idea and make sure im doing everything as i should

i havent tried my 1 rep max on squats or deadlifts yet, so i can only speculate what it would be. according to this chart, http://www.criticalbench.com/chart.htm (which seems to be pretty accurate) shows my 1 rep max for squats would be 400 and deadlifts would be 450. i wont claim to doing that weight until i actually do it.

im waking up around 197-198lbs

what ive accomplished so far-

bench- 300x1
squats- 315x9 (which translates to 400x1)
deadlift- 425x2 (which translates to 450x1)

ive been slacking on deadlifts, but im sure with a few months of hard work i could hit in the high 400's or maybe even touch 500. squats have been steadily increasing
