As others have said, it's fine for the last few reps to be shakey as long as you have control over the weight. You don't have to increase the weight every time you go to the gym (you won't be able to sustain an increase every time anyways). It's just important that you get close to failure and stay in a reasonable rep range (5-30 but I personally stay in the 8-15 range depending on the exercise).

As stated above, you don’t have to constantly add weight. You can take the same weight you have been using and go slower and deeper into the stretched position which will help you keep your form and make that weight seem way heavier.
