To ask how they work out or what their routine is, you can ask:

“When you bench, how many reps and sets do you do?”

Reps are repetition. In weight lifting terminology, this means how many times they lift in one set.

“Do you do low reps with heavy weights, or many reps with light weight.”
“How many sets do you do when you work out your arms?”

Ripped means to get lines to show up in the muscles. It’s called ripped because when you rip a piece of paper, you see a line in the paper where the tear is. So a person is ripped when you can see lines on his body due to muscles.
