Being a comedian Matt has to travel across places and meet new people while being the best version of himself. He always mentioned working out to have a greater part of his life than most of the other things. Managing both sides does sound like a problem but definitely it's fun for him.

In an interview, Matt mentioned that he likes to work out before the shows as it keeps him sharp and ready. However, as a part of his humor, he also added that it is so stupid to work out right before performing in front of thousands.

Here is a split Matt likes to follow while working out before the shows:

Alternating incline press: Perform 3 sets consisting of 12 repetitions per arm.

Pullup: Complete 3 sets with a range of 8 to 10 reps.

Zottman-to-reverse Zottman curl: Execute 3 sets with 8 to 10 reps in each set.

Russian twist with a medicine ball: Do 3 sets, with 10 reps on each side in every set.

Loaded plank: Engage in 3 sets, performing 10 reps in each set.

Plank mountain climbers: Carry out 3 sets, with 10 reps per side in each set.

It is a part of common knowledge that just by working out you won't get a physique like Matt. Along with working out to the best of his abilities, Matt has always put an emphasis on his diet. The body fat percentage he has implies that he follows a strict diet that includes more protein and fats while the carbohydrate consumption stays moderate.

On social situations, Matt Rife doesn't shy away from cheating a bit on his diet. He loves to treat his taste buds but only when it is in moderation. Another factor about getting a physique like Matt's is supplementation. There are some essential supplements that are needed for building that sort of physique like whey protein, creatine, and BCAAs.
