Ripped

Consider the following sentence:


"His ripped arms showed he had tried to defend himself."



Does 'ripped' mean 'with deep cuts'?

Maybe, if that's what the context indicates. But haven't seen the word used that way before. In casual modern English, ripped means you have very little body fat because you exercise a lot.
