From what you said, it sounds like you are fairly thin. The most important thing you can do is EAT. You should have 5 or 6 meals a day. Since it sounds like you are thin, they don't need to be small. Don't eat junk food, but go ahead and eat some simple carbs, get your calories up there. Try getting 200 or so grams of protein a day. Have a whey protein shake before and after training. Don't do cardio on a weight lifting day, and keep it to a minimum.
Make sure you don't overtrain. Try doing just 2 sets of flat bench and 2 sets of incline bench, go heavy for 6 to 8 reps. Use both barbells and dumbbells. Use one for a while then switch to the other for a while. I think it is good to switch it up fairly often. Make sure your anterior deltoid and tricep training is not interfering. If you do them on the same day great, if you don't make sure it is AFTER your chest. Make sure you have preportional size and strength in the ant delts and triceps. Do longer rest so you can lift more weight too. Keep the intensity high.
You can also try this superset trick for a few weeks. Do a heavy set of dumbbell flies for 6-8 and then immedietly do a barbell bench, load just a little lighter then usual. Do 2 of these, then regular incline bench (db or bar). Then switch it up the next week and do regular flat and then superset the inclines. Go to failure on this for sure and remember, this is not for extended use.
One more thing. Stick with DB and bar, and beware suppliments. Most of them smell like BS to me. Did I mention you need to eat?
