Optimal workout recovery?

Currently, I workout Mon, Wed and Fri. I do full upper body Monday, Friday and legs on Wednesday.

I figure this is good recovery time and i hit all muscle groups.

My schedule has just opened up and i can workout whenever i want to. So, what is optimal for working out? 3 days a week, 4 days a week, 5 days a week? What do you think?

Goals are to gain muscle and strength. I do cardio on Tuesday and Thursday, but not much. I only run 1.5 miles and that takes me 11:20. I just do that to keep my speed up and I've heard it's healthy...

I'm 5'7 150lbs.

Bench 185 max
Squat 245 max
Deadlift 245max
 
What you're doing sounds great if its giving you the results you want.

More doesnt always mean better. however if you arent getting the results you would like you may have to dig a little deaper to find out why.
 
I think your doing well

I am the same size and weight and my bench is less then yours. I can squat more, but I am in training for the fire academy so I work a lot of legs. What else are you trying to obtain? Better aesthetics?
