Conditioning the week of a tournament

A week before a tournaments we have a week of hell practicing harder and for a longer amount of time. We usually take it more serious because if one falls to do the workout we all repeat it as a team. We live wrestle with more teammates and for a longer time and sometimes we have to iron man wrestle which means 4 people in a group and each person goes a couple rounds with the others in the group. After that we usually do line drills to condition ourselves and to help us not gas out soon in a match. Line drills can last from 20 minutes to a full hour just depending on how the team is doing and how quick we do it in. We usually have to repeat a couple of exercises because some guys/girls on the team get caught cheating or don't finish in time. So far i think we can say that our school has the best condition but we have much to step it up.
