Why do them if you don’t like them
Gotcha, guessing it's more tricep maybe?

What's your routine?
Tri, shoulders
Upper - Twice a Week
1. 3 sets of Bench - Incline/Decline w/dumbbells/regular
2. 3 sets of Overhead Press/Negatives
3. 100 pushups broke into sets of 25
4. 3 sets of JM Press
5. 3 sets of Dips - 10-12 reps
6. 3 sets of Bent over Rows/T-bar Rows
7. 4 sets 1-minute each Kettlebell Swings
8. Kettlebell circuit
9. 3 sets of Barbell curls
Lower - Twice a Week
1. 3 sets of Squats
2. 3 sets of Deadlifts
3. 3 sets of Bulgarian Split Squats
4. 3 sets of Barbell Good Mornings
5. 3 sets of single leg Romanian deadlifts
6. 3 sets of deficit deadlifts
7. 3 sets of pause squats
8. 3 sets of Barbell side lunges w/lite weight
I'm still tweaking and trying to add and subtract different lifts, but these are the main ones I do.
I do more pushups and dip bar work with cardio on the days I don't lift to keep myself active on off days.
Since I'm doing 5/3/1 I'll split Bench and Overhead from each other and Squats and Deadlifts from each other.

It's hard to determine how much you are hitting chest without rep ranges. Based on what you posted, I would say not enough chest work is being done.
I usually try to do 8-12 reps on lifts.
What would you recommend adding or changing in the routine.
Yeah I've been trying to figure out a good chest fly to do at home since that's where I work out at. What would you recommend?
Can’t help really, I don’t train at home

Going to be hard to recommend anything since you workout at home(no idea what equipment you have). I assumed that was the case which is why I didn't recommend something already.
My home setup is bench/squat rack w/weight up to 300 pounds, kettlebells/dumbbells up to 55 pounds, elliptical machine, row machine, dip bars.
I go to the gym with a friend and he's really into deadlifts. I guess I just haven't looked into an alternative exercise yet.

I just realized you said you're doing 5/3/1. I'm no expert but that doesn't look like 5/3/1 to me. How long have you been lifting?
