What is the word for when you're reaching for something, and the reach turns into a stretch?

a year ago by grrgyle to c/microthoughts

Like you get stuck reaching, because the stretch feels good.

Any language. If there isn't a word, I feel like there should be one.

I'm not going to suggest any because mine would be bad and I don't want to bias your beautiful mind, dear reader.

Related, is there a word for when a reach turns into a cramp?
