Working on strength and a lot of practice. There’s an exercise that I used/still use today.
Find a place where your leg can rest, place the leg in back extension and place it on that place. Then work on lifting your leg off of that for a few seconds. Do that for a few days and keep working up a little higher.
Make sure you don’t push too hard only try to hold it for 4-8 seconds at a time.
