I want a cut look but I want to maintain the strength Ive gained. Should I do high reps low weights, or stay with heavy weights low reps? Or a combo? Also, I'm thin with not much muscle mass. Can I still make what I have look more cut? Also, does the cut look make you look better?

If you are thin with not much muscle, I would recommend doing the heaviest weight you can do. You can stand to gain muscle, and since you are thin, the cutness will be there automatically. Just a theory though.

Depends.......most peopel concider higher weights lower reps for strength, and in theory size......since the muscle had to get bigger to lift the load.
WHile higher reps lower weights are for body building.......ie. skulpting and making more defination.
To get "cut" you need to loose body fat......to show the muscle period. You can do 50 reps of 4......but unles you get rid of fat, then you will still look the same way.
What ever your gaols your gonna have to expierement, i'm a bigger guy, however higher reps work best for me on certain excercises. Teh basics( military, bench squats, deadlifts) i keep medium reps, everything else I do 10 and 12 reps somtimes a 15......just depends on how the days going.
Dunno if this helps or confuses you more lol

Regardless of your goals, you should always keep your weights heavy, lowering your weights is a good way to lose your hard earned muscle. Getting "cut" is simply a product of a good, clean diet along with a solid training program. If you are thin to begin with, I personally wouldn't worry about losing weight, put on some decent size first, then go about a cutting phase after you have gained enough weight.
