Push or pull? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stretch

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'push' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'pull?' is the second definition.
(I know that stretch is a kind of pull)

'or' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stretch that I've seen before include "Make demands on; continuous expanse" , "time spent in jail" , "Time lag's got" , "that will make a bigger man of you?" , "Exaggerate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
