That's the same goal as me. I'm already a big guy, so I just like to stay toned. I'd say go lower at first to build the muscle, then higher to sculpt what you have. You're not going to build much muscle, if any, with high reps; that's for endurance. You have to strain the muscle to create microtears in it, that induces hypertrophy. Nutrition is key, your body needs the tools to recover. Also, at least 24-48hrs of rest for each muscle group before training again. I like to hit everything twice a week. Find whatever works for you. I have the luxury of a private gym in my house, so I can go whenever. I know that's not the case for most. But for example, I'll do arms and shoulders one day, legs the next, then chest and back. I'll usually follow that up with a cardio only or rest day, then back to arms on day 7.
