If you are on a cutting cycle, and you do low intensity high volume workouts with dumbell/barbells, that would tone right? Well, assuming you are still on that cutting cycle, where would high intensity low volume workouts with dumbells/barbells get you?
Toning is what my wife used to do before she learned how to lift weights. Now she looks like a supermodel. When she was "Toning" she looked like a pile of shit.
So I guess toning means shit and if you do a lot it would make a pile of shit.
