pumped-up
Ready for action
Pumped-up describes someone or something that has been made larger, stronger, or more intense than normal.
A pumped-up ego or pumped-up rhetoric has been inflated beyond what the situation warrants.
Athletes get pumped up before competition—energized, excited, and mentally prepared.
Pumped-up muscles are temporarily enlarged from exercise.
The term often carries a slight suggestion of artificial enhancement or exaggeration: The pumped-up enthusiasm felt forced.
