I recommend a Minotaur, even if you play it from level one. On 8 levels of Minotaur or
level adjustment of +8 total, it gains 5 hit dices out of 8 and 6 BAB out of 8 for a
second melee attack and the charge damage gets insane at full strenght ( 4d6 + STR bonus x 1.5 ) ! Minotaurs rule !!! [)]

From the SRD the following will suit:
Ogre: 4HD LA+2 = ECL 6
Centaur: 4HD LA+2 = ECL 6
Minotaur: 6HD LA+2 = ECL 8
The Half-Giant base race can argubeliy fit, with its Powerful Build trait. It is depndent on your DM ruling. (I'd allow it).
Also, one very cheesy option is to start a medium character and pay a wizard to cast Polymorph Any Object on you that changes your size. (I wouldn't allow it).

I'd go with an Ogre, they seem like a good rock throwing type. [:)]

The half-ogre race in Races of Destiny isn't bad, mostly because you don't have to take a lot of weak levels of giant.

IanB...how does the half-ogre template compare to the
Savage Species version.

Tons_of_fun,
if you get levels to bump yourself up to ECL 8 as an ogre,
that is definitely the way to go with fighter levels...extra
feats besides the three you need for hulking hurler.

Another cheesy thing to do is start as a medium-size critter and have Enlarge permanently cast on you. You're now a Large creature (until a high-level caster dispels your permanency). This is also heavily dependant upon the DM involved.

I'd preference the Ogre. ECL 6 + Half-Dragon template puts you to ECL 9 to start. There's even a relatively close proxy mini available (half-fiend Ogre).

Centaur is the way to go. Hulking Hurler works off of your carrying capacity, and being a quadruped gives you a boosted capacity.

For 6 ECLs, its hard to beat that sort of bang for your buck.

Goliath is another option with the powerful build they can count as large when it benefits them. and only a +1 level adjust lets you get more class levels in which would make getting the prereqs easier.

This is still the subject of some debate, but all indications from WotC is that Powerful Build isn't enough to qualify you for PrCs like Hulking Hurler or Warhulk.

ogre, troll or minotaur seem like the best bets. The new half ogre from races of destiny might be a good call. The old 3.0 one in savage species pretty much kicked butt...too much so.

I'd go for a Half-Ogre. Made a Half-Ogre monk once and he was amazing

Half Ogre is cool, played one a few years ago until our group broke up.
