Bet your going to have more troubles benching 180 tommarow then you did today. Because your benching 2 times in a row your muscles will not be recovered and your doing maxing.

if he only maxed out, he wont have trouble doing it tomorrow.
The best thing that will get you to do 185 by tomorrow is your mind. If you go there believing you can do it, you will get it

First of all, like Andy pointed out, it's not a good idea to try your max two days in a row- Working any muscle two days in a row isn't a good idea, especially at such heavy weights. When you attempt your one rep max, you're pushing the muscles to their limits, which is a dangerous enough game. Don't temp fate by pushing too far- 8pack's most likely right too, you could go hit the bench again tomorrow and most likely come away without an injury- But you're damn sure increasing your chances of getting hurt by chancing it, and it's definitely not a habit to get into.
How about this- Wait until next week, and then change up the way you warm up- If you're not already warming up like this, I can almost guarantee it'll increase your max.
Two light warm up sets, 100 pounds or so, ten reps each, rest two minutes in between.
Rest two to three minutes
One set of six at 140 pounds
Rest two to three minutes
One set of three at 160 pounds
Rest two to three minutes
One set of one at 180 pounds
Rest three to four minutes
And now try for your new one rep max of 185. You might find it easier than you think- But like I said earlier, wait a week before trying it out just to be on the safe and smart side.

It's 5 lbs.
Go for it.
You only have to do it 1 time. But if tomorrow you are pretty sore from today, that will affect it but not for what you want to do.
If you can wait, take cpl's advice. If you can't, I personally don't see 5 lbs being that big of a deal if the lift you did today was strong and 100% all you.

You can tell when you lift it off the bar.
If you're doing any serious lift, ALWAYS get a lift off for bench, ESPECIALLY if your maxing. Why waste the energy? It's not like that lift off the bar is building any muscle, but it could mean the difference in getting that rep!
