The last 2 times when I bought a place, the market was far more in favour of the seller. However, I had to put in some subjects due to my own circumstances. My realtor was aware of those circumstances, and he simply mentioned as a matter of duty that adding subjects would worsen my chances of getting the offer accepted.

So for JDMDreams, if you need to include those subjects out of necessity, you have to do them. There is no other way around it.

A thing that my realtor did -- which I would have assumed is something that any decent realtor worth his commission would have done -- is to unofficially get in touch with the other party's realtor and get a rough idea of where the seller's bottom line is -- and by bottome line, I don't actually mean the minimum transaction price that the seller would accept. Instead, it was just a general mood of whether the seller is at all receptive to bargaining, whether having subjects would be an absolute no go, etc. Communication like that saves everyone a LOT of time because both parites would roughly know where the other party stands. If the 2 parties are too far apart on the terms and expectations, then there is really no point in pressing further.
