incline dumbell press-3 x 10
hammer strength flat press-4 x 6
weighted dips superset w/ cable crossover-4 x 20 into 4 x 30
pushups-1 x 100
if you have hit a plateau then you could try some of these..
benching with rubber bands or chains
3 sets of 3 reps with heavy ass weigt
5 sets of 5
maybe you could use dumbells for pressing if your only using the barbell
weighted dips
incline or decline flys
i have used all of these methods in the past when i hit a plateau on chest .. all worked for me give one or several a shot

Dropsets and supersets always work. Or pre-exhaust with flies or the pec-dec then do your flat or incline benching.

Both of these methods are awesome. The main thing is to change it up. Try isokinetic work too. It's unconventional but it might help ya out.
More food and variety. Try more overall sets than you normally do, lower volume, higher reps, lower reps, use a routine with negatives, drop sets and/or supersets, change the frequency of hitting it...
