SixDemonBag:
When static on the ground, even underslung engines are above the axis of rotation, which would be on the main wing landing gear.
Also, wp5944 did not fully describe his "standing takeoff" procedure in this instance. If brake release is after initial spool-up but before hitting the TO/GA button, any tendency to rock aft due to uncompressing the nose strut will be minimal.

Pushing forward on the yoke as the start helps ensure it is forward when it does become effective. Building a habit pattern is not a waste of muscle power...
