What does tone mean though? In my opinion it is just a word people made up because really tone means fat loss, it has nothing to do with the muscle. You can't "tone" a muscle, you tear it and it rebuilds into bigger muscle.
If you want to be "toned", then eat healthy and do cardio.
Tone is the dumbest word when it comes to fitness because being tone just means lean, AKA low body fat percentage.
6-8 reps builds muscle though for strength, doing 15+ reps will build endurance for the muscle, but at a lower weight.
