Maybe your torque wrench is/was broken? I'm sceptical that they are all created equal i.e. accurate.

Maybe it was, but when I was tightening the clamp, the seatpost was still moving ever so slightly at 3nm so i tried to tighten it even further between 3-5nm and thats when it cracked. I was trying to be really careful about it as it was carbon and all that hoping I wont need to tighten it close to 5nm

@rogan stick with a thomson 25.4 seatpost, my hylix carbon one has a crack already where the clamp goes. I always use a torque wrench and i was torquing it at the recommended 5nm, I have the the wrench between 3-5nm and whilst tightening the clamp, the post cracked. >.> fml
Not sure if it's me fucking up, but I havent even gotten close to 5nm
