Hi MSW,
Welcome to the forum. I'm not exactly sure what you're looking for, but this might be close--It's from a strength coach named Christian Thibaudea. Seems like it's geared toward more advanced lifters. If you ask me, even if you're near the bottom end of the "bodybuilder" ratios, you're still doing pretty well:

1. Here are my personal numbers:
a) back squat
575lbs (close stance, upright trunk, butt to calves, nylon weight belt only) at 215lbs so a ratio of 2.67
b) front squat (full)
440lbs (same as above) at 215lbs so a ratio of 2.04
c) deadlift
575lbs (regular stance, nylon weight belt only) at 215lbs so a ratio of 2.67
d) stiff legged deadlift
Never maxed out, but have used 400lbs for sets of 5 on the romanian deadlift, which is similar)
e) barbell hack squat
N/A
f) power clean / hang clean
Power clean 352lbs x 1, hang clean 320lbs for 4 reps, hang squat clean 370lbs x 1 all of those were done at a bodyweight of 207lbs so respective ratios of 1.7 / 1.54 / 1.78
g) snatch
Power snatch 275lbs, full squat snatch 291lbs (with straps) at a bodyweight of 230lbs so respective ratios of 1.2 / 1.26
h) barbell bench press
415lbs (established 7 weeks ago) at a bodyweight of 212lbs so a ratio of 1.95
i) barbell split press (push press)
335lbs push press, 362lbs split jerk
Both done at a bodyweight of 223lbs so ratios of 1.5 / 1.62
