I've put in some dynamic warm-ups (including a few inchworms), and ten minutes or so of stretching at the end.
You are right that it's "enough", in a way -- I can hardly walk down the stairs after a workout. A closer look at the type of the leftover energy makes it seem most suited for metabolical work. Bicycling and swimming have given me high endurance compared to my strength, the lifts are not enough to work up a sweat. So now I'm experimenting with dumbbell swings (no kettlebells, alas) when the gym is not too crowded (and I feel sufficiently alert), some intervall running otherwise, or swiss ball jacknives, as a nod towards core training (I am really familiar and comfortable with those). Not really a solid pattern yet, but hopefully getting there.
From a strength aspect, the 5x5 workouts are amazing!

No assisted pull ups, unfortunatly.
