Inner thigh growth

What movement causes this particular portion of your thigh, the inside
portion specificly, to grow? Mine are growing at a rate that is not
comfortable to me, I can't stand them rubbing together, and it seems
like my quads aren't growing at all. I generally squat and dead with a
very narrow stance, as opposed to sumo style. It would make sense why
that portion of my leg would be stressed using a sumo style but not
narrow stance. Not sure this would be a 'problem' in some people's eyes
but it is in mine, so anyone have any ideas?

BTW anyone see any drawbacks to using the top squat thing on the dave
draper site, as opposed to just the bare bar? Using an unpadded bar is
really starting to get to me when I do high rep sets and my right arm
is starting to go to sleep, probably a pinched nerve I'm told, so I'm
considering using one of these things to help.

Last thing, since I mentioned 20 rep squat sets, why is it that these
are considered best for growth as opposed to the typical 3 sets of 10
or 5 sets of 5? Why would working your legs, yes I know squats are
more than just legs, for high reps be any different than working any
other muscle group for high reps? I've never seen anyone recommend dips
or chins for example for 1 set of 20 but it's common to hear the 1 set
of 20 squats recommendation.
 
I'd say inner thigh grow is related to both the types of exercise done,
in particular anything that directly or indirectly involves moving the
thighs inwards.

The other thing is weight gain.

The thinking with 20-rep squats is, in my opinion, related to the idea
that certain muscles can take and in fact thrive on higher rep sets.
Each muscle should be experimented with to see what the optimal range
is.
