Superset chest exercise with pushups
Dips, but lean forward to get more of your chest
I've been using dumbells instead of barbell lately and have noticed alot more #gainz

dips, frequency method pushups throughout the day, weighted pushups, reverse slight decline on sorinex hurricane, high incline DB, flat or slight delcine bench to the neck
but the exercises that has provided the most noticable results have been the gioranda dip and the bodyweight fly on gymnastic rings. The Gioranda dip really builds the lower pec to provide that line under the pec imo the ring fly is the best chest exercise there is.

I've been using dumbells more frequently and have seen results. What type of sets are you doing? Different rotations of the weight?

This x 1000
I switched to dumbells last year and noticed a big jump in gains.
Also doing 5-10 pushups after each set adds a nice pump. You can get 50-75 pushups in without noticing it

With LSU powerlifting, we used to do flat bench with boards.. (1 board on chest, then 2, then 3.. benching with pauses like you do at a powerlifting meet)
It helps with strength at each phase of the bench press

Big fan of doing weighted push ups. I know it's hard without a partner if you don't have a vest or something similar. But even like you said 5-10 push ups will add up after each set

Kind of hard to generate muscle confusion on the chest though.

Exactly, I go to a crowded small gym so it depends on what's open when I get there.
I do cable flys so if that machine is open I will run to it first.

Drop set maybe?
In lieu of pushups every other chest workout you can do 8-10 reps of normal weight but not too heavy, then immediately drop weight about 40% and crank out 8-10 more. You will really feel those.
Also, try to slow down coming back to your chest. That resistance and muscles being under tension will really help them micro tear and get stronger. Try counting to 3-4 seconds when coming back to your chest with bar or dumbells.

Weighted dips with a little lean forward has been my bread and butter.

on dumb bell bench, I like to start from the raised position and do alternating reps

As a powerlifter myself, this works very well. We also did Monday chest day, 10 x 10 on barbell at 225, and that's it. It's brutal but I got major results and won my meets easily.

Example would be like an Arnold press for shoulders. Basically rotating your shoulders/wrist during the press. Works different areas of the muscle group and helps build your stabilizer muscles

Haven't tried that. I've seen people use for shoulders/back.
Is it better to go light and high reps?

With chest since I am trying to get my bench up I go 3 sets of 10 (50-60 lbs.depending on how I am feeling) on those once I do my flat, incline, and decline reps. I also drop it down to my chest when I get the dumbbell over my chest to add a little more to it. It is a great exercise. One of my favorites.

Reverse Grip Bench Press is a nice change up to add to regime.
