I should have called it a day on my chest workout that day but I continued on with my workout. When I got to 315 I was preeing out on my 7th rep when POP my pec went. I put it down to everything being full taxed and pumped from my previous 225 bench.

My bicep was a completed accident I was doing dumbbell shoulder press and as I brought the 40kg dumbbell down to rest on my knee it slipped and I tried to pull it back onto my knee and BANG the biceps popped. I should have just let it fall.

I would say my pec tear could have been avoided but the biceps was a complete accident.
Agreed, they both sound unlucky. Usually it's 'I tried to max out without a warmup or spotter' type stuff.
