Not over-pressurizing it, but giving it time to reach full pressure.

For people who don't understand this: A pneumatic cylinder will normally start moving as soon as air starts to flow into it, If you lock a pneumatic cylinder in a slightly extended position and allow it to reach working psi, it will throw with a lot more force than just turning on air to it and having it extend slowly as air flows into it.
