In the given context "ripped" is a term from bodybuilding. Someone who has highly developed muscles and almost no fat, thereby allowing the pattern of their muscles to look very well defined, is said to be "ripped". Bodybuilders tend to reduce their weight just before a competition so that they'll be as ripped as possible when they are being judged.
