On my PPL checkride; The examiner was 310lbs and at the time I weight 210lbs all muscle though. The CG was on the line at the limits; It was pretty weird rotating at vr; and touching the examiner stomach with his yoke; and I had to call maintenance to drain fuel off the 172. That was an interesting day
