roboboticus -> Could rasgueado improve pickstyle playing?

Do you think it might benefit pickstyle playing as well? The extensors certainly contribute to my picking/strumming, and some rasgueado patterns, like the pmp triplet, have a wrist turn that seems like it could carry over to some extent. Any thoughts?

For the extensors holding your arm out in front of you for a couple of minutes at a stretch while extending your four fingers one at a time like a rasqueo move will do them good, you'll feel the burn
