I'd say that my starting "strength" was around 185x5 for squats and 275x5 for deadlifts. Those were the weights I used once I started to get the form down after a couple really light workouts.
Like for most noobs, I made gains in the deadlift much faster than the squat. In 4-5 months I added about 100lbs to the squat and almost 200 to the deadlift. A good squat just takes more time to develop, and IMO, the technique is harder to learn because it's not as natural as lifting something off the ground.
