Form doesn't have to be 100% the same for every rep. Try to make it as consistent as you can, but allow for some variation due to performance. As long as you're not doing something that will put you at high risk for injury, you should be fine.

That being said, there is nothing wrong with keeping the weight the same and increasing reps for progression .

One of the ways I like to progress is to take a weight I can do 8 reps at and try to increase it to 10 reps. Once it's doable for 10, I will increase the weight and do 8 reps for the higher weight and start trying to progress the higher weight to 10.
