If you saw them in person, you'd see they are far from 13 inches.  Everytime I see Quincy Taylor in the gym it's hard seeing 17-18 inch calves on a guy 320lbs off season with 23 inch arms.  Johnny Jackson's have to be the worst for a notable pro.

Two good tips that I can offer is to always go for a good stretch on every rep,which means no ego lifting,and to do half reps at the end of every set when no more full reps can be performed.

Half reps to failure until the burn is agonizing,and they will grow albeit slowly.
