Guaranteed Gains
Build Muscle Utilizing Overload & Volume To Get GUARANTEED GAINS! (FREE)
‘GUARANTEED GAINS’ was designed to help you take your training to the NEXT LEVEL by introducing SIMPLICITY and EFFICIENCY into your workouts. If you’ve been struggling to make gains with Cookie-Cutter / Sponsored-Athlete programs that utilize 7 to 8 or more exercises per body part to achieve “MUSCLE STIMULATION”, it’s no wonder why you plateaued quickly once the NEWBIE GAINS phase was over!
So, I want you to forget everything that you thought you knew about building muscle and OPEN YOUR MIND to some KISS TRAINING! No, not that kind of training, haha. KISS is something my Dad used to always say whenever I would overcomplicate things. That’s because KISS stands for “Keep It Simple, Stupid!”. Powerful words that can often turn a complicated problem into something solvable!
Now, this program is VERY easy to follow whether you’re a complete BEGINNER or if you have some lifting experience under your belt as an INTERMEDIATE or ADVANCED lifter. As a complete BEGINNER, I want you to focus on PROPER FORM and getting the BASICS down first. However, after you’ve made some strength and confidence gains, I want you to still maintain GOOD FORM but also experiment with a bit of MOMENTUM as well. You can’t be afraid to raise the weight and give it everything you’ve got.
But what makes ‘GUARANTEED GAINS’ so effective is that it takes advantage of the principles of PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD, VOLUME TRAINING and MULTIPLE GROWTH PERIODS to help you grow in strength and size as quickly as possible. For example, you’ll train CHEST the first day of the week, but you’ll also be targeting your chest a few days later when you train TRICEPS & SHOULDERS. It’s manipulating simple concepts like this that allow you to MAXIMIZE your time in the gym!
But there is a catch… the ‘GUARANTEED GAINS’ program will only get you in the door. When you start to PLATEAU, AND YOU WILL, then it’s time you got a bit more serious and jumped on a FULL 12-WEEK PROGRAM like my PUSH-PULL-LEGS, FULL BODY EVOLUTION, or for those of you who think you’re ready for something REALLY EXTREME, you can take on my MOST ADVANCED program CHEAT & RECOVER!

Hi Scott, I was thinking of doing CIRCUIT-D from your PPL program on the Wednesday rest day. Would that be over training. PS keep up the great work
@jgw hey Joey! Nothing wrong with doing that man, wouldn't be overtraining at all! Would be a great addition if you want to get a little leaner!
Hey Scott, been enjoying this program and I'm on week 3 of it though I downloaded the calendar file and I'm a bit confused because I don't have Microsoft office or word and it's just repeating what's said here.
@sullybones72 my pleasure!
@scott_herman Thank you Scott!
@sullybones72 yeah the diet is definitely important man! Got to at least have the macros on point for reaching your goals! If strength but also a bit of fat loss is your goal then the PPL program would be perfect for you after this! The reverse pyramid work with the reps on your compounds will help build your strength and if you do it in a deficit you will be able to lose some fat!
Hey Scott, so every time I do the power shrug I pull something in my neck and am sore for the next day. I am concentrating on good form, and it always happens towards the last few reps. Any advice that can help me correct for this? Should I drop the weight and do higher reps?
@timmay0277 my pleasure! Yeah that pause at the bottom is important!
@scott_herman I am using wrist straps. I was not pausing at the bottom though, and I may be going too fast. That could be my issue. I'll slow it down and see what happens. Thanks.
@timmay0277 are you using wrist wraps and making sure that you pause for a nice stretch at the bottom? I find that when people do power shrug reps "too fast" your form breaks down toward the end of the set. That could be happening here?
Hello Scott, in upper 1 workout can i use barbell instead of dumbbells for the first exercise? Thanks
@ksauae1111 my pleasure!
@scott_herman thank you so much Scott
@ksauae1111 you can if you want to. The dumbbells were used to maximize hypertrophy (bigger range of motion), but yes you can substitute the barbell in!
Hi Scott can we do this program from home with 10 lbs dumbells??
@j72 you can start with the PPL bodyweight edition if you're a complete newbie and want something to ease you into things, but otherwise you can go straight into the home program!
With the programs on the app, you just need to select 'MUSCLE GAIN' to access the other programs. The forums aren't available on the app just yet but the articles are! You just need to click on the three lines in the top left hand corner of the app to bring up a drop down menu!
@j72 and in my iphone app i cannot access any programs other than the 12 week home program neither can i see the forums or articles so pls help me with that.
@scott_herman Hi Scott i wanted to ask that in your videos you say that beginners should start with PPL but gyms are still closed so should i start with PPL- bodyweight edition and then move on to the 12 week home program or directly do the 12 week home program and then after some time do the other programs ??
HEy scott? The program is not free any more?
@sg4 hey man! Yeah it's still free! I'll look into the problem with accessing it on the app!
@scott_herman hi Scott is this programme still free I can access it on my laptop but not my phone
@uzair1212 it's still free Uzair! Are you having trouble accessing it?
Hey Scott, I am still just a beginner in the gym. Is Guaranteed Gains the best program for building strength and muscle for me or I should opt another one of your programs?
@chetkills it's for beginners and for people who maybe can't spend as many days in the gym - PPL will be 6 days of training compared to 4 days with GG, so if you can spend a few more days training, while still getting the frequency of training and a little more volume, it might be better! Plus the strength building side of PPL is a little better!
@scott_herman Thx a lot bruh. I will definitely upgrade to the PLATINUM. But then for whom is the Guaranteed Gains program exactly, Scott?
@chetkills GG is a great program to get you started in the gym. Very simple and to the point to get you in a good routine of training each week. But if you can upgrade to PLATINUM I would recommend my Push, Pull, Legs program. It's a bit more involved to help you build a SOLID base with all your fundamentals when it comes to training. It's a 3 month program. check it out and let me know!
Hello! Would this be a great starter programme for me? At 156cm, I'm only 47.2kg with 17.4kg of skeletal muscle mass which is wayyyy under and 31.5% body fat which is wayyyy over than normal. I don't really know if I'm skinny fat or just fat at this point :/ I also don't know if I should be eating at a surplus or a deficit because of my body comp so :/
@adoralev yes this would be a great starter program for you! You're likely skinny fat, as your fat percentage can often come out higher than it actually is when you have very little muscle mass. I'd recommend a calorie surplus to start adding muscle and your body fat % will likely drop as you do bulk. If you're up to it, you can post a photo of your physique and maybe a bit more information about your diet in the platinum+ @forums so I can help you more!
Is this your perfect workout program for skinny fat or do you recommend one of your other programs?
@raishussain this is a great program if you're skinny fat! However, remember a lot of it comes down to diet too. You want to make sure you're in a slight surplus because the goal for you is muscle gain, no point cutting if you already feel skinny. This or Full Body Evolution would be great for you!
Scott do you recommend I use Dumbbells for the bench press? I have so many people say barbell grows a stronger and bigger chest but I also saw your video explaining that you have more range of motion on the DB bench press. Do you think I’ll be hurting my gains if I use barbell?
@jaygains You can use a barbell if you would like to. The goal here is overall volume over the course of a week. If you feel more comfortable using a barbell that is ok, just make sure you use proper form! Here, check out this video for extra help!
