There's always some sort of tail grab on the bike... you don't need to stomp on the center stand at all.

Put your right foot on the center stand pad, and the bike will balance itself on the center stand. Lift up and pull slightly back on the left clip-on bar, and the bike will easily lift up on the stand.

When I was 100lbs or so, I was doing this with a 600lb bike loaded with gear. It takes nothing but technique.
