Try Bending notes. Play a G in the middle of the staff at a forte and using your lips bend the note down to a f# while doing this cressendo to Double or triple Forte. Do this for between five and ten minutes after your warm up and then rest for fifteen minutes after the bending. This is like olympic weight lifting for trumpet players. After you get good at bending half steps bend whole steps. Much harder.
Good luck and good playing. See you in the stratosphere.
