No pain no gain without "s"? I wonder is that the local English of "No pain no gain"? or No pains no gains? My friend asked me suddenly and it made me confused...which one is the most local one in English-speaking countries.

The first one. I've never heard the second one being used. It possibly is due to the fact that when you use this phrase, you are referring to a specific objective, and nothing else. Definitely the first.

Well, we usually accept it as a set phrase and don't see the point in dissecting it. However, "pain" is an uncountable noun. "Gain" can also be treated as a concept (and therefore uncountable). Making these words countable makes me think that you mean specific examples... which then makes me think, "well, what are they?"
