That is in the "high rep" range. Nothing wrong with it and it will produce a some hypertrophy but it will not contribute to looking "cut" in and of itself.

Oh how I wish that was true. That means I wouldn't have to diet intensely for contests. If light weights and increased repetitions defined your physique, there would be a lot more women in the gym with detailed cuts.

Light weight and numerous repetitions build muscle endurance. Diet and cardio help you to lose body fat which helps get you that "cut" look in the end.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
