rate of increase of lift totals?

I'm wondering, when you started powerlifting, for those powerlifters on here, or at least squatting and benching, how quickly did your total increase over the weeks? I seem to be adding on 5lbs a week on to my squat, hard to tell as the exercises vary, I'm quite happy with this, is this good/bad? I am definitely getting enough protein and carbs, probably too much, but I'm not worrying about cutting for now.

Does thanks! I've been looking at lift totals from competitions and hoping to lift that much some day...
