I mentioned that posing is always a good way to guarantee increasing the velocity behind a move, but if you have your opponent in a submission move you might want to try grabbing the ropes as you do. This always has the effect of increasing the pressure on whatever limb is being stretched at the time.
Of course, you can only do this if the referee can't see. Inevitably he will find out though, and will more than likely kick your hand off the rope allowing your opponent to escape the abdominal stretch that exists to eat up a good couple of minutes in the middle of the match.
Additionally, putting your feet on the ropes makes it extra hard for your opponent to escape a pinning predicament.
