Sorry to be the one to break you the news to you: It's reportedly not a kiai or kihap, this shouting stuff we do.
It's ... are you ready for this? ... A grunt :-) Yep, a grunt. Are you kihappy now, you wind breaking gym-rats?
Story:
The exercise grunt is part of the culture at some gyms, especially those that attract lots of serious weight lifters. But it repels others. Some say it's a fading trend.
Grunting isn't physically necessary to lift weights. It's more about getting attention, although tennis players, shot putters, martial arts practitioners or bodybuilders may grunt to psych themselves up and to intimidate opponents.
