Never forget to warm up your shoulders and and your spine before you do Macaco. Do some Ponte / Bridge and arm swinging,it makes easier to do the movement and you wont get hurt.

@MrPredatorix the same thing happened to me when i went to the side but what you have to do is: the hand that is not on the floor you throw up and make sure you throw completely straight back and that will help you get a straighter macaco.

I unvoluntarily twist my body to the right when I do a right-hand Macaco (It's like a weird Au), this caused me to twist to the right on my back handspring too, any suggestions on how to cure this?
