hmm, for getting definition i would do high rep count (10-12) for 4 sets. this will get you cut but no very strong...
look up some exercises for biceps, forarms and tricpes

No need to go up in rep range to really get cut, it's more about lowering your bodyfat than anything. I've read lots of stuff saying there is no such thing as toning rep range really, although still not sure, but it's safe to say you will see best results by keeping your rep range anywhere from 4-12 (low will increase your strength more) and as long as you stick some cardio in and you eat well (and take in less calories daily) you can lower your body fat % and get more "toned" and "cut"

cardio and nutrition will show the best results...

I'm always confused about the 1-6 training for "strength" and 6-12 for "hypertrophy/endurance/whatever". Wouldn't strength be the way to go if you want sheer size? I'm just wondering, cause it makes more sense to me that if you train for strength, the only way you get stronger is if your muscles grow.

To some degree that is true. Overloading the muscle does make it stronger and thus bigger.

But you can get stronger without gaining size. Doing reps in the 1-4 range for sheer strength does not necessarily mean you will get any larger.

The size of the muscle does not equal its strength.

I see what you mean. My friend just finished cutting after doing about 5 months of max-ot. His muscle are defined, but they are very soft, round, and bulgy.
