Sometimes its not the exercises you do but the methods you use.

Try supersetting exercises. For example, do a set of bench, followed immediatedly with flys, no rest. Then rest one minute before you repeat.

Sometimes cheat sets can help too. At the end of a set, when you're at failure, try sacrificing form slightly to push out those extra reps. Don't cheat so much that it could cause injury, just enough to limit the range of motion a little. Don't do these often, I add a cheat set maybe every other week.

And while I've never really got into them, I hear negative reps can be very effective
