How to delay replication start

I'm creating a new publication for replication using the @allow_initialize_from_backup option to avoid the snapshot immediate creation and therefore locking all objects replicated on articles. The issue is that, either using SSMS wizard or tsql, when I start the publication (no subscription created yet), immediately I get lot of deadlocks on the tables been replicated. I'm checking all this information and more but I can't manage to do what I need. Haven't found a clear answer online. What I'm missing here?

• sp_addpublication at MSDN
• How to: Initialize a Transactional Subscription from a Backup (Replication Transact-SQL Programming)
• Starway to SQL Server Replication
• Replication Without Creating a Snapshot
• similar question but different errorTransaction without snapshot?

And this is the code I'm trying to run:

EXEC sp_replicationdboption @dbname = N'db_name',
     @optname = N'publish',
     @value = N'true'
GO

EXEC sys.sp_addlogreader_agent @job_login = NULL,
     @job_password = NULL,
     @publisher_security_mode = 1
GO

EXEC sys.sp_addqreader_agent @job_login = NULL,
     @job_password = NULL,
     @frompublisher = 1
GO
