    Quads and glutes??? I don't know if we are talking about the same type of pump...unless you'd sit on the handle of the pump I have to push it down. (If that's the case, I don't want to think about the acrobatics needed to pull it back up again. LOL)

    LOL.

    All the floor pumps I've ever owned are only a couple of feet tall, so pumping them involves squatting as well as pressing with the arms.

    It's possible the pump is defective but it sounds to me like the pump head is just not seated correctly on the valve stem. Take it to your bike shop or some other knowledgeable bicycle person and have them watch you do it so you can figure out what is wrong. No point in struggling with what should be a simple task. Let us know how you make out.
