pumped up

Ready and eager

Pumped up means excited, energized, or filled with enthusiasm—ready for action.

Athletes get pumped up before a game; crowds get pumped up at concerts.

The image is of inflation: air pumped into something to increase its size and pressure.

The team was pumped up after the coach's speech.

Pumped up can also mean artificially inflated: pumped-up prices, pumped-up statistics.
