Breaking goals

When I first started lifting weights I had a goal of being able to bench press my weight. Nevermind that I could do that 15 times or more by pull ups and 50 times by dips. So I finally accomplished that about 2 months back by breaking 180. Now I'm able to bench press 195, and I'm looking to break 200. My weight lifting exercise book has a chart that gives you an idea of what your one rep maximum is. Since I'm able to bench press 195 pounds a maximum of three times, that means I could theoretically bench press 207. And because I theoretically broke my goal, I shall theoretically celebrate with some theoretical champagne.
