Unless you're starving yourself it isn't possible to stunt your growth. At age 16 you can safely lift weight and build muscle. Weight lifting, even heavy weights, has never, in all of history, stunted anyone's growth.
Pull ups (palms facing forward, dead hang at the end of each rep) are an excellent exercise for your back and biceps, as well as your grip.
