Hello everyone, I'm a new member 
I have a question regarding training specificity... is it reasonable to create a training program (after a bit of weight lifting experience) based around how you wish to apply main muscles into real world activity?
For example, because I may have little use for endurance in the shoulder muscles, maybe I could train in a way that develops explosive strength/speed-strength type ability in the shoulders.
If I wanted to be a quick fighter then perhaps increasing the strength of the upper arms without any unnecessary mass/strengthening the lats, shoulders and traps would be a good idea.
If I did a lot of pulling and climbing then some strength-endurance/bodyweight strength for all of the back muscles.
If I ran a lot of distance, then thigh muscles could be trained for endurance-type purposes, or maybe at first I'd like to be fast at running, so then I'd be doing heavy squats/high jumps and such?
Essentially all muscles having their individually assigned goals to be better at something specific. I'm sure there'd be overlapping exercises that may prove counterproductive in some cases, but who knows, it could be easy to minimize.
Any thoughts?
