It comes from the feeling after lifting weights. Oftentimes, men feel their muscles swell after pumping iron - they feel pumped up.
Technotronics popularized the phrase in 1990 with their song, Pump Up the Jam:
Pump up the jam, pump it up While your feet are stompin' And the jam is pumpin' Look at here the crowd is jumpin'
