(Ona nie była ani krępa, ani biodrzasta, ani) żyłasta lub umięśniona
This is not a standard idiom. The author describes an external appearance of a woman. The "glands" that might be visible would be some veins, hence żyłasta. In general, glands and brawn are masculine traits, which is why I earlier proposed pełna testosteronu lub mięśni.
