All NESCAC teams have some sort of offseason strength and conditioning program.
 
I would classify Coyne's off season regimen at Bates as demanding and intense. It's a cornerstone of his program with a huge commitment made by the players.

I think programs like Trinity and Tufts are more successful in recruiting bigger (better?) players from the get go.

While it's not always the case, the better teams are often the bigger teams. You can get stronger, heavier and even more confident in the weight room but you can only add so so much weight and you can't get taller.

A top level strength and conditioning program is a key requisite for the smaller programs trying to compete with a bigger Trinity team.
