shredded
Cut to ribbons
Shredded describes something torn or cut into thin strips: shredded cheese, shredded documents.
In fitness slang, shredded means extremely lean and muscular, with visible muscle definition—body fat stripped away to reveal what's underneath: He got shredded for the movie role.
Both senses share the idea of reduction to essentials.
