It should be a rule that you have to keep your elbow down while getting a grip. Saves time and aggravation.

Try throwing a powerful punch while flexing most of your upper body!!!! Then throw some while you are loose but ready. That's how it was explained to me!!!

Don't confuse "no load" with being completely limp. That's a good way to get hurt. There are a few pullers out there who can be almost totally relaxed and then turn it on that fast, but they are freaks. They also didn't start out using that technique. Thousands of matches taught them the timing they need to turn it on and when.
I would suggest thinking of it like Justin said. A boxer isn't totally limp, he just isn't flexing. He's not preparing to get hit and absorb the shock. That is not the same as being limp. Think of only using the muscles that you need to go in the direction of your hit. In other words, you should be performing your hit, but stationary. You will be tight and ready to explode. The difference is you aren't locking down every muscle in your torso and trying to pull your oponent over the table. You are only loading your own personal "hit" muscles. Your opponent can't feel it. To him you are not loading, but to you- you are. Just internally.
