Launching in a stock Turbo or NA automatic

What is the best way to launch your automatic if it is totally stock? I've heard all about these stall and torque convertors etc but what about a basic, stock car? Starting from idle seems far from perfect and you can't slip or drop the clutch as you don't have one.

 

Can you use two feet to hold the footbrake whilst increasing the revs? Will this cause damage? What are the safe limits if any?

 

In my NA I find just slamming my foot to the floor as quickly as possible is enough to beat everything but I want to see what you are supposed to do :-)

 

Thanks :-)
