Injured my thumb boxing yestarday and while training chest today it kills me to pick bar up while im 5 weeks into my course and just started getting strenth in size should I just train legs in abs for week while it heals or just not go for week?

Are you hurt or are you injured? If your just hurt keep working out. If you are truly injured, give it time to heal. Get straps you can work back. Work legs. Machines for shoulders. Go forth and get big.

I fractured my wrist about 6 weeks in and just kept going. It is terrible to do but nothing was going to stop me, go get a thumb and wrist splint.

Looking at the thumb, the hematoma looks like a bad sprain. The ligaments are probably torn in there and bleeding. It's like a badly sprained ankle. You can keep walking on a sprained ankle but it won't heal properly. Same with your thumb, you can keep pushing it but the ligaments just won't heal properly. My recommendation would be to keep off of it for a week or two. You can make up your gains later but once your thumb heals poorly you might have to do surgery to get it back. You got your whole life to look good. Give up the couple of weeks now to let yourself heal. My .02
