dude. NO just don't.

Wearing wieghts on your wrist while punching can only cause your form to suffer and joint problems

Heavy bag drills, focus mitt drills, plyometrics. What does your weight training routine look like?

my weight training routine is, Monday: bench, incline, fly, bar curl, free weight curl ( bicep and chest ), Tuesday: arnold press, shoulder press, cleans and press, side raises, front raises, and shrugs (shoulders), Wednesday: squats, calve raises, and some other exercises that i dont know what its called ( legs ), Thursday: lat pull downs, bent over rolls, deadlift, close grip bench, working on tricep with the bar, dumbells, and rope ( back and triceps ).

Do you punch a heavy bag? or have any boxing training? THAT'S how you increase punching power. and you may want to read the stickies and get a better routine. That nebulous piece of crap isn't going to get you far IMO.
