Anything above 20 pull ups is exceptionally good. I hear you get 100% on a US marine fitness test if you can do 20 pull ups but I dont know if thats just a rumour. I can only do around 6 or maybe 7 at a push and ive been working at it 6 months from being able to do none!
140kg bench press is exceptionally good, just benching your bodyweight is respectable for an experienced lifter. 2x would put you in an elite category.
If you have got technique right and you do not have any issues like inactive muscles, you should be able to deadlift your bodyweight no problem. I can deadlift 90kg and I am only 69kg. But I can only bench 47.5kg 3x5. An experienced lifter can lift several times their bodyweight on deadlifts. I know that shanaze reade can do 140kg and she is a teenage girl.
