Chins felt a touch stronger.  Maybe.

Never done Sumo Deficits before.  I failed an attempt at 335, but it felt technical so I took a few breaths, tried again, and got it.  Was able to go up a smidge more.  Took a YOLO attempt at 365 but it wouldn't break off the floor. 

Tried using the long-ROM partials as a rest-pause set instead of a drop set, and it worked WAY better.  Doing them as a drop-set, I'd only get maybe half as many additional reps.  But taking a few deep breaths (without even letting go of the handles), and I was able to match the full ROM reps.  Nice pump.
