Works for me. Especially since stretching a muscle really does involving
making it long.

<yuvHa'> works fine for this, and <QIt yuvHa'> is probably even better.

<qeb> is a technical term specific to music, so it's probably best to stay
away from it in any case. I'm also having trouble imagining what a chest
crush looks like, so I can't offer any suggestions. If you describe it more
thoroughly I may be able to help.
