Both exercises were at the end of body area-specific sessions so I would assume that the affected muscles were appropriately warmed up.

For instance, the first time it was an upper-chest specific routine:

Incline Smith Press 4 X 6/10/12/15
Incline DB Press 3 X 10
Incline DB Flye 3 X 8/10/12
Decline Pushups 3 X Failure -- it was here where I got 25 reps, then 30, then 22

I was actually kind of laughing on the second set wondering why I could keep cranking them out on that one but not the one before. I would have expected to go 30, 25, 22 or something like that with progressively decreasing reps. I chalked it up to a fluke until today when the same thing happened with another exercise.
