Extreme Short Pecs

The problem is that my chest measurement is 43". Its pretty good but they still look small, beacuse I have short pecs. What should I do to give them that long and big shape?

43 inches isn't small

Mayhap he is refering to the length from the top (by the clavicle) to the bottom (by the nips)?? If so I believe that is going to be purely genetic.

Of course it would improve your pecs...any chest exercise probably will to some degree

Its not going to move the attachment point of the muscle anywhere, your situation is genetic.

Yes I understand. Arnold claimed in his book that dips would make them drop down further on his rib cage, obviously this is not true.

You should get different genetics. That's the only way it's going to happen, I'm sorry to say.

You can not make your pecs longer. It's impossible.

Are you talking about where his nipples are? That isn't going to change unless you have it surgically done. Plus if this person was raising his arm in the shot, it will raise the nipple as the skin moves.

You cannot change the shape or length of your pectoral muscle.

keep working your chest. it will get bigger, thus giving the appearance of a longer pec.

your definition of a "short pec" is mearely that of pectorals that lack muscular development...

pec shapes = genetics. muscle insertion points cannot be changed.
however in your case I would suggest the following exercises:
DB fly
wide grip(not too wide) flat/decline bench
dips
straight arm pullover

exercises not recommanded:
machine pec deck
decline DB press
standing high pulley cable crossover

peace out
