I've been focusing on my arms a little more lately when doing back sessions as I realised my grip strength was quite poor. My gym doesn't have the best choice of equipment either so I'm a bit limited in the back department.
This was my most recent back session:-
Assisted chin ups - 4.5 x3 - 9 x1
Wide lat pulldown drop - 73/59 x2 - 66/59 x1 - 66/52 x1
Narrow palms in lat pulldown drop - 79/59 x2 - 73/59 x2
Seated row cable drop - 73/59 x2 - 66/59 x2
Seated row 1 arm - 32.5 x2 - 30 x1 - 27.5 x1
Incline hammer curls drop - 36/28 x2 - 32/28 x2
Palms up wrist curl over bench - 20 x4
Palms down wrist curl over bench - 10 x4
Preacher curls drop - 30/25 x2 - 27.5/22.5 x2
I need to do more bent over rows. I would strongly recommend T-bar row if your gym has the equipment. It's one of the best.
I find this page extremely convenient for finding new exercises. Works on mobile, too.

What do you normally take as a signal to increase the weight load in whatever exercise you're doing? is it when you're able to complete say 3 sets of 12 reps on a particular weight?

If the day ends in a y then increase weight.
You can look at a chart that will estimate your 1 rep max from what you're doing 3x12 - it's fairly accurate. This will give you an idea of the range you can work with, but it depends on your goals. Building strength is normally about heavier weights repped fewer times, but there are a million variations.

As soon as the first few reps start to feel on the easy side I increase the weight. Ideally you want to feel a bit of resistance. I hate wasted reps.
For me it is simple. If I can get to the max of my rep range and feel I can do more reps. I increase the weight.
I'm doing rep range of 6-8 at the moment.
If I get to 8 and have more. Then add weight so that the 6 is hard. Then build up again to getting above 8. Same if tour in the 10-15 rep range. Get to 15. Then add weight so 10 is a struggle, then go from there.

Biggesy gym annoyances.
I've had a couple of drinks and I'm a moaning [Poor language removed], so here we go:
- People who use lockers but don't put a padlock on. It's like a really bad version of Deal or No Deal trying to find an empty one
- People who carry their bags and coats around the gym despite the presense of lockers
- People who train on the dumbell rack
- People who don't re-rack weights
- People who use benches as a table for their personal belongings

The more birds in the gym, the higher my weights are on the bar. Hezz Hezz!
Birdz love a lad who can not only lift, but also groans a lot whilst doing it! Hezzzzz!

Be sure to violently drop the weights on the floor after your set
That goes without saying fellow Swole Brother.
