"kiss the guns" 

To raise ones arms into the classic strongman position (humerus horizontal, radius and ulna elevated to vertical, fists pointed towards the head), and to dip the neck to the right or left to kiss the biceps, mostly for use in self motivation or after "really rocking hard at something". Pointing the fists outwards (a technical gun kiss) is a further improvement, and allows the user to rock even harder (often precedes total head explosion).
