Slight variation to current routine

This new workout of training every bodypart everyday has been GREAT but I am feeling it has run its course. My results have been superb as this routine has made me "harder" looking. Everyday in the gym someone comments on my size increase as well as my getting leaner, harder looking. I even had the top trainer in my gym approach me and ask me what in the heck I am doing?!
After several weeks I feel my recovery is lessening. My strength is beginning the plateau in certain exercises, especially leg extensions (which I have been performing DAILY!). This is all evident as my strength is through the friggin roof the workout following a rest day.
Beginning tomorrow I am curtailing my bodypart training down to 3 times per week. My workout will look like this:

Monday & Friday: Upper Body (2 exercises for chest, back, shoulders, 1 exercise for abs, biceps and triceps)
Tuesday & Saturday: Legs (2 exercises for quadriceps & calves, 1 exercise for hamstrings)
Thursday: Full body day (1 exercise <4 sets ea.> for ea. bodypart)

I will continue training 5 days per week and I will perform a 15 min. cardio "ladder" on 4 of the 5 workouts. On Thursday it will be resistance training exclusively.

current bodyweight: 187 lbs bodyweight before current routine: 183 lbs
RESULTS: 4 lb weight gain (100% muscle gain as I am very lean)

I will report my results right here!
