Issue with tummy time

So my LO has no problems being on his tummy. He can put his head up 90 degrees and look around.. still a little wobbly, but fairly decent head control.

Problem is, he uses his chest to support him and arches his back to sit up. He flails his arms out to the side. I try to push them under him, but I can't seem to get him to put any weight on them. 

He, however, is an overachiever when it come to standing. I can hold the tips of his fingers and he will stand like a champ. He can even push his legs straight from a squat position. 

Any ideas on how to get him to push with his arms? I try to push them but he doesn't resist at all to help develop his arms/shoulders. 

Anyone had a LO who did this and it was a non-issue?  TIA
