Pumping

I didn't run off to the kitchen, though. I stood there and watched Mr. Baker shake my father's hand. And as they stood there pumping and smiling, this weird feeling started coming over me again. Not about Juli — about my father. Standing next to Mr. Baker, he looked small. Physically small.

What's pumping meaning here?

Is physically here similar to truly?

Pumping: In this context, each shake of their hands. Physically seems to be used as "comparitively" here.
