well TEd, Ripped is right next to Rep in "Bodybuilding Jargon"..
Ripped:
A condition of extremely low bodyfat with superior muscle separation and vascularity. Variations include sliced, cut, and cross-straited.
seems like there could be a transferral from Butcher's Jargon here. <g>
edit - Dr. Squat has it thusly:
Ripped -- Slang meaning extremely visible muscularity resulting from both hypertrophy and subcutaneous fat removal.
removal by ripping??
edit[2] - maybe there's a drug (e.g., steroid) connection, as in "man, are you ripped!"? <g>
