On Concorde, you couldn't even do a "run-up on the brakes"... the aircraft would have literally started sliding forward.
So you lined up, did your last checks, released the brakes and slammed the trhottles forward, then very carefully monitored spool-up, reheat lighting correctly, etc., during the first few seconds of the take-off roll.
