I do believe, big weight equals big muscle, but ONLY when the you are going the heaviest you can without sacrificing your form.
I use drop sets to force fill my muscles with blood which results in surpassing any previous peaks you may have reached. Therefore high reps doesn't always = toning. As long as you are fatiguing your muscle, you are at the first step of tearing them down to rebuild.
But like I said, go as heavy as you can with perfect form for the quickest results. Then resort to drop sets, if they work for you like they do for me.
And I personally wouldn't do anything but legs on leg day. Same with back. But everyone's goals are different, that's just me. When I hit these muscle groups it's HARD and to the point where I wouldn't dare do anything else simply because of a possible and likely calorie deficit which would lead to a catabolic state.
