Ripping Time

Definition

The dedicated period in someone's life when they commit hardcore to getting shredded and muscular, prioritizing gym sessions above all else. It's the fitness equivalent of 'it's go time'—distractions like food and fun are temporarily sacrificed on the altar of gains.

Example Usage

Bro, I can't hang out this summer—it's ripping time and I'm getting jacked.
