The thing about chest is finding the right excersices for you, i find that once someone has found those right ones, that he performs properly and he feels the pump, then it grows like a madman. Go out and try everything for your chest, every workout change everything until you find the right excersises.

Try either widening the grip for the barbell stuff, or bringing the grip in closer.

I do this every few weeks just to keep my body from getting used to the movement.

Or go from barbell to strictly dumbell for a while.

the mind muscle connection is very important!
i made more progress in problem areas by literally thinking myself into the muscle so that i was sensative to every motion. forget rep counts for a while and just feel the full dynamic range of the muscle. use lighter weight with slower movement and more of the above discussed. let us know how it does.

There are a few things you can try.
Try working chest twice a week with one day being light and the other heavy. If you usually use barbells for bench, then go completely dumbbell for 8 weeks. Do incline dumbbell, flat dumbbell and cable crossovers.
As marky mentioned, you should slow down the movement and work the muscle to failure. Make sure that the last two reps are so hard that you almost need a spot to get them up.
Try dips for your chest. When you are on the dip bar, pull your knees up to your chest and bury your chin down in your chest and then dips away until failure.
When you choose a program, make sure to stick with it for 6-8 weeks.

Yo bro i had the same problem! Trust me if u don't listen to anyone listen to me. When doing either barble or dumbel incline, regular, or decline presses remember one thing;---THROUGHOUT THE EXERCISE KEEP YOUR SHOULDERS ROLLED BACK AND DOWN. Like your squeezing your chest out. On the descending part of the exercise hold this as u lower the bar to your chest. Coming up, keep your shoulders in the same position and higher the bar by flexing out your lats and pushing through your CHEST. ISOLATE IT! You won't be able to do as much weight but .....give it time and watch it grow. I don't even use steroids and it worked for me. Go to failure last set. Peace ----- Italian Sweetness.

Another thing to try is slowing down our reps and kicking up you feet on flat bench. Do a three sec down and three sec up pace. and sqeeze your chest hard. Try kicking up your feet on flat bench so your chest is more isolated. Your not gonna like it at first because your strength will drop, but it will come back and your chest will get some good thickness.

ASSFACE had a similar problem. All I did was switch the exercises around.
I start with Incline Bench - 3-4 sets,2-3rer range
Then Flys or cables, 3-4 sets 6-8 rep range
Then dips or pullovers 3-4 sets 10-12 range
Then I hit the flat bench - 3-4 sets - 5 rep range.
Tempose are for 1 workout - 5down, 1 pause, 2 up
Alternate tempo is 3 down, 2 pause, 1 up.
This helps assface target the chest muscles earlier in the workout, then I hit the overall king of upperbody movements - the flat bench, last in the workout. SO far so good.
ALSO - testosterone.net has a great 12week upper/lower body training routine that just posted Friday. ASSFACE is going to give it a try and combine it with a great diet to get ripped up for summer.
GOod luck.
WHere ASSFACE walks, muscles grow.

Fly's, fly's, fly's. Go slow on the way down and let the fly's just rip your chest apart. If you watch Pumping Iron, thats what Arnold does. He got OK results.

You didn't mention your current routine. Post it. If you are lacking size in the upper pec, hit the inclines. If you need the seperation, then hit fly's.

Try this as well. Flat bench, db press, just as you're bringing the weights up, rotate your wrists so that your thimbs are pointing outwards. This also works very well on a decline bench.
