Center Stand Lift Point?

I like to stand up straight, use a high grab point and use my weight to get the bike on the stand.

Me too. Low point means having bend over which could be bad for a compromised back. 

For me, the back needs to be kept straight and I lift from whatever purchase is within reach. The key tip is to simultaneously press down with the right foot / pull up with the right hand / pull back with the left hand that is gripping the left handgrip. I find the harder the pressing down of the right foot the easier the lift. Depending on placement of the pivot point, design of the centre stand, and weight of the bike, this operation is easier with some bikes than others.
