If your rear brakes are not adjusted properly you will get a low pedal.

Try tapping your calipers lightly with a piece of wood to make sure there is not some air trapped in them.

Usually though, back brake adjustment is the problem.

If, when you were bleeding the brakes you put your pedal to the floor you might have jammed the Proportioning valve. With someone pumping the brakes lightly, tap the valve lightly to see if it helps.
