Just an indication of my progress since late semptember (4 months ago)
Deadlifts
Sept: 6 x 125kg
Janu: 6 x 167.5kg
Increase of: 42.5kg or 25.4% 
Squats
Sept: 6 x 95kg
Janu: 6 x 127.5kg
Increase of 32.5kg or 25.5%
45 Deg leg press
Sept: 6 x 220kg
Janu:6 x 285kg
Increase of 65kg or 22.8%
Cannot compare flat bench as only started using barbell in october.
Incline Dumbell bench press(per arm)
Sept: 6 x 30kg
Janu: 6 x 35kg
Increase of 5kg or 14.3%
Dumbell overhead press
Sept: 6 x 27.5kg
Janu: 6 x 30kg
Increase of 2.5kg or 8.4%
Should hit 6 x 32.5 next week however..
Dumbell rows
Sept: 6 x 35kg
Janu: 6 x 45kg
Increase of 10kg or 22.2%
EZ curls
Sept: 6 x 35kg

Increase of 10kg or 22.2%
My average strength increase percentage in the past 4 months is 20.1%  Hopefully the trend will continue. I think a good run will see me somewhere between 10-15% increase over the following 4 months bearing in mind that I'm staying natural and will be cutting at some point in the period.

I'm not too sure mate. I think its generally a weak area, been training chest for 2 years with DB (can currently db bench as much as bb bench), only started on sqats and deads in september and they have progressed loads in comparrision. although chest seems to have grown well, just not got much stronger! can be quite frustating!

Much better session that last week! I was dreading it because I got drunk on friday night and had a grand total of 5 hours sleep, and due to unforseen circumstances I was late to bed last night which resulted in 6 hours sleep so I've been tired in work all day. I'm pretty surprised as I was yawning and feeling lethargig and was contemplating leaving it until tomorrow. however here's todays workout...
Deadlifts
1 x 10 100kg
1 x 6 140kg
1 x 6 160kg
1 x 6 170kg!! finally hit my 170kg target!
1 x 180kg
1 x 190kg
Weighted wide grip chins
4 x 6 +15kg - let's get this consistent now
1 arm dumbell rows
4 x 6 45kg
EZ curls
2 x 6 47.5kg
2 x 6 45kg
2 x 8 30kg - did this immediatley after the final set on 45kg. This really made my bi's burn!

This is how I worked them out: there may be an easier way as maths isn't my strongest subject!
If my previous PB for 6 reps was 120kg on deadlift
and my current PB for 6 reps is 170kg on deadlift
then the equation is as follows:
((170 - 120) / 120) X 100 which gives me a 41.6% strength increase on that particular lift
