no, if anything it would compress your spine and make you shorter. However, seeing as how you are only 16, you still have 1-2 growth spurts left, so just make sure to eat a wide variety of foods, get your 3000 calories per day (that is normal for a mlae your age) and avoid heavy weight lifting and excessive jogging.

there is no form of exercise that can effect the growth of the human skeletal system beyond the natural genetic potential
