It is called the "fist pound" or just "pound" for short. The "pound" is a way that athletes celebrate a good moment in sports similar to the old school "high five". The pound has invaded our sports culture and supplanted the high five as the chosen handshake of athletes. I too use to be a "pound it" guy until I saw the following images:
Not knowing how to do the pound makes for an awkward exchange.
"Wonder Twins powers active...take the form of ________" you fill in the blank.
And last but not least
Needless to say I am no longer fist pound guy...I am going retro and bringing back the high five.
As I see it there are multiple advantages to going back to the high five so I created my top ten.
Top Ten Reasons To Bring Back the High Five:
1) Everyone knows how to do a high five
2) You never miss a high five
3) You can show emotions such as - anger, frustration, happiness, excitement, and dejection
4) You can actually make a sound with a high five
5) You can make adjustments for individuality such as the low five, high ten or side five
6) More peaceful - we shouldn't be making fists
7) More universally known
8) You can jump and give a high five
9) We will avoid the awkward situations above and the Presidential Fist Bump
10) And last but not least... its RETRO
