If you're a 200 lb man, then you're going to feel 20lbs a lot less than a 140lb man. 10% of your body weight is a good place to start. However, going above 20% of body weight for high impact drills like running, box jumps and skipping might be a bit too hard on the joints. The most important thing to do is to eas into it slowly, so your joints get conditioned to it. I think percentages are better yardsticks for starting weights.
