When it comes to home gyms, there are two types of people: those who run out of space and those who run out of excuses. The 3x3 Oblivyon Cable Tower takes care of both. This powerhouse packs the performance of a full-sized cable machine into a compact design that fits perfectly in a garage, basement, or even that “multi-purpose” room that’s 90% gym and 10% storage.
Why Add a Cable Tower to Your Home Gym
If you’re looking to boost your workout variety, a cable tower is the golden ticket. This machine gives access to dozens of exercises; think rows, curls, triceps pushdowns, lateral raises, and plenty more — all without turning your gym into a jungle of equipment.
The Oblivyon Cable Tower lets lifters perform between 50 and 70 movements right out of the box. Add a few attachments, and suddenly, your workout menu expands faster than your post-leg-day appetite. It’s the ultimate all-in-one setup for building strength, stability, and muscle, all while saving precious floor space.
What’s in the Box
Inside the box, you’ll find everything needed to get rolling:
- Bearing aluminum handles for a buttery-smooth grip
- Swivel shackles for a full range of motion
- A 2-to-1 adapter with carabiners
- Mounting brackets for top and bottom stability
- Optional plate-loaded or weight stack systems
- Clear ratio stickers for both pounds and kilograms
Every piece is built for durability and convenience. The swivel shackles, for instance, help reduce cable wear and make movement smoother. Even the labels are laser-cut, so you can keep track of your setup with zero guesswork.
Built for Strength and Smarts
At its core, the Oblivyon Cable Tower is all about precision. With 3x3-inch uprights (76.2 mm x 76.2 mm), it fits seamlessly with Bells of Steel’s Hydra and Manticore systems and yes, even a few other 3x3” brands.
The tower’s uprights feature laser-cut numbers for easy, repeatable height adjustments. Aluminum pulleys and TPU-coated cables glide effortlessly, so you can switch between exercises faster. Plus, the bevelled pulley housings help protect the cables from wear, keeping the whole system running smoothly.
And because we know no one likes wobbles in their lifts (or their gear), the Oblivyon Tower’s solid build ensures stability while still keeping a sleek footprint. It’s sturdy where it counts and doesn’t flinch under pressure.
Fast and Precise Adjustments
The Oblivyon Tower uses a smooth, trolley-style adjustment system that lets you move between heights quickly and safely. With clearly numbered uprights, you’ll always find the right position for each movement.
This setup is perfect for supersets and circuit training. Whether you’re blasting through a pull-push combo or swapping between upper and lower body exercises.
Compact Design, Massive Potential
The real magic of the Oblivyon Cable Tower is how much power it packs into such a small footprint. You get the full cable machine experience without surrendering your garage or basement to the gym gods.
It can be mounted to the wall, floor, or a compatible rack using the included brackets. That flexibility makes it ideal for just about any home gym layout.
Want a standalone setup? Add a back upright for extra stability and storage.
Need a full-blown station? Pair it with a squat stand for a cable crossover-meets-power rack combo.
Compatibility That Plays Nice (With Almost Everyone)
The tower’s 4-way keyhole pattern accepts both 1-inch Manticore and 5/8-inch Hydra attachments, giving you plenty of freedom to mix and match accessories. The top and bottom mounts are optimized for 1-inch Manticore holes, perfect for pull-up bars and landmines.
Even better, it’s cross-compatible with other 3x3” brands, so if your setup already includes gear from elsewhere (we’ll forgive you), the Oblivyon Cable Tower still fits right in.
Safety and Setup Tips
Like any serious piece of equipment, the Oblivyon Cable Tower needs to be securely mounted before use. You can bolt it to the floor, wall, or your rack, whichever fits your space best.
For permanent setups, concrete anchors like Tapcon screws are the go-to choice. If attaching it to a rack, make sure to tighten everything snugly with washers for a rock-solid fit. Once secured, the tower feels steady and ready for whatever training day throws your way.
Final Thoughts
Compared to traditional cable towers, the 3x3 Oblivyon Cable Tower stands out with superior compatibility, upgraded aluminum pulleys, smoother cable action, and a design built for serious lifting in tight spaces. You can start plate-loaded and later upgrade to a weight stack without replacing the entire system — a rare and wallet-friendly perk.
It’s the all-in-one cable machine your home gym deserves: compact, compatible, and built to handle the grind.
