How hard should it be to pump tyres?

I’ve got a fairly basic Bell track pump and getting tyres above ~80 psi requires major effort. i.e, putting all my weight onto the pump handles to get it up to ~100. I usually end up with very red palms with the pattern from the handle imprinted onto them for a day or two.

Would buying a better quality pump make this easier, or is getting decent tyre pressures always going to be hard work?
