Any tips on how to get a harder more powerfull punch?

do what Martial artisits have been doing for millenia...punch a solid surface to the point of hurting but not damaging your hand. Over time your body will react to this constant pressure and add more density and volume to the bones in your hand, but that'll only help you if you punch corectly like most of the punchers have pointed out

As others have already said, perfecting the correct technique is the most important factor.

In terms of strength training you need to be performing each move explosively using sub maximal weights (generally), low reps and long rest periods to limit fatigue.

Exercises such as the following are certainly worthwile.

Snatch (very difficult to learn the correct technique)
Power clean (very difficult to learn the correct technique).
Dumbbell Throws.
Medicine Ball Slams.
Medicine Ball throws (twisting, horizontal).

Heavy bag drills,
Punching with resistance bands
Isometrics (using the static / dynamic protocol)

And various plyometrics (not for beginners)

I've just posted the above to point you in the right direction. If you plan on using the above techniques it's worth doing plenty of research before hand and preparing your body first if you are not accustomed to resistance training.

Power isn't just your arm... It's the pivot of your foot, the push off and strength of your leg, the turning of your torso, the extension of your shoulder and arm, and the turn of your fist... all simultaneously.

kinetic linkage of all the mentioned body parts and muscles

look at pac's calves...it all stems from the legs and pivoting of the hips.

During one of SSM's fights, his dad mentioned in the corner that he needed to twist his punches...meaning twist his hips to get full power behind them punches.

For god's sake don't ask this question in here.

Power is mostly about technique, and also how much you weigh.

[ThePunchingBag]

Power comes from technique and mindset.

Like the rest have said, practice your technique and then practice punching through an opponent instead of punching at an opponent.

Also Speed increases force by a multiple of 4 while mass only increases it by a multiple of 2.

Work on your speed with plyometrics.

Plyometrics for ur legs.............

You should also add a medicine ball to your routine. Try throwing it with one hand at a time. Like throwing a punch, use your entire body. Throw the ball against a solid brick wall (not your neighbours).
