You can lift each muscle twice a week with proper nutrition and rest.

As often as your rest and nutrition will allow, 2-3 times at least. 5 day splits are retarded.

6 days is too much for 35 year old natural.

Go with 4 days:

Day 1

4x Squats: 5 reps
3x Ham Work: 8 reps
3x BB or DB Row: 8 reps
2x Bicep Curls: 10 reps

Day 2

4x Bench Press: 5 reps
3x Military Press: 8 reps
3x Tricep Isolation: 8 reps
2x Ab/Calf Work: 15 reps

Day 3

4x Deadlifts: 5 reps
3x Pullups: 8 reps
3x Leg Press: 8 reps
2x Biceps Curls: 10 reps

Day 4

4x DB or Incline Press: 5 reps
3x Chest Dips: 8 reps
3x Side Lateral Raise: 8 reps
2x Ab/Calf Work: 15 reps

Day 1: On
Day 2: On
Day 3: Off
Day 4: On
Day 5: Off
Day 6: On
Day 7: Off

and the one posted by chinesemuscle?

The only thing that i didn't understood is the "change the exercises for each day", if i change the volume (example: 4x6bench on day one and then 3x10 on the day four?) it will not be better?
