I just started lifting again and my bench press right now is 180 1 rep max, how long to get to 250?

Question:

What other excersizes should I be doing with my chest to get it big?

Answers:
This might sound contradictory but in order to make your chest large you need to make sure you work your legs hard. Your body has a mechanism that insures that your top doesn't get too out of proportion to your bottom.

Perform heavy squats along with your bench presses in a full body three day workout like this one:

LEGS

Squat3x10
Straight Legged Deadlift 3x10-15
Standing Calf Raise3x15-20

CHEST

Bench Press3x10
Flyes3x8-10

BACK
Bent Over Rows3x10
Pulldown3x10-15
Deadlifts3x10

SHOULDERS

Behind the Neck Press3x10
Upright Rows3x10-15

BICEPS

Standing Barbell Curls3x10

TRICEPS
Pressdowns3x10-15

STOMACH

Crunches3x55

Mon., Wed., Fri. or Tues., Thurs., Sat.

Every two weeks increase the weight on each exercise by 10%. If you can’t don’t worry about it. Keep trying until you can. The third set of each exercise can be exhaustion set.

If you do this workout combined with a good protein rich diet and continue to increase the weight on all your lifts by 10% every two weeks you will blow past a 250lbs! Try Creatine and HMB as well! Hope this helps!

Other Answers:
if you max at 180, you should be doing reps at 130. I would do 4 reps of 10 at 130. Then gradually work your way up. Do it every other day, and on the in between days i would do diamond push ups, it really feels out the chest.
