5-3 Countdown involves doing multiple weekly training sessions where you squeeze a muscle under load for a pre-set time, then follow the isometric hold with full range reps. Intense isometric contractions crank up EMG more than training with heavy loads. Isometrics work for muscle growth, but not if you do them at the wrong time, hold the contraction too long, or don't follow the isometric squeeze with full reps.
