Here's a much simpler way to understand it. To pull a film is to overexpose it. When a film is overexposed, one must decrease its development time, or underdevelop it, relative to the standard development time.
Overexpose + Underdevelop = Pull To push a film is to underexpose it. When a film is underexposed, one must increase its development time, or overdevelop it, relative to the standard development time. Underexpose + Overdevelop = Push This is a very simple description, but it may help you grasp the concept. It may also help you understand Bill's explanation a bit better.
