You're not supposed to run it for 2 years. OP has made adhoc adjustments and is no longer following the program if he has been consistent.

Even the SL5x5 site recommends moving on from the program. Their recommendation is Madcow 5x5 but there's other options out there.

I know, that's why I was curious. If you followed the program as written you'd be at like 2000 lbs of deadlift.

My own journey has taken me through Starting Strength to Texas method and then to various 5/3/1's (and occasional returns to Texas) through the years.
