It's good stuff. Sorry I forgot to answer that bit. Got carried away.

You'll probably always want to use wrist wraps on the heavy bags, especially if you end up developing a lot of power.

Boxers use wrist wraps all the time. The body can simply generate more power than the wrist can easily handle over long periods of time. It will also help prevent injuries like pulled tendons and damage to hand bones, by keeping the hand bones tightly squeezed together. If you enjure the tendons between your knuckles, the injury will last weeks and hurt like a mother when you punch or do pushups.

Later.
