If you have deep rims or really hard tires, put as much as you can on with hands and add a little more air before resorting to levers. Put the lever under the bead, lift it level with the rim and then use a tipping motion (off the side of the lever) rather than cranking it straight over.
Also HTFU and use your hands.
