1901 epekteínomai (from 1909 /epí, "on, fitting" intensifying 1614 /ekteínō, "extend") – properly, extend (lay hold of) what is divinely acceptable (note the force of the prefix, epi).

1901 /epekteínomai ("aptly stretching intensely towards") is used only in Phil 3:13. It refers to the believer straining forward to reach "the full-impact resurrection" out from the realm of death given to them at Christ's return.
