then after im off work i push all the way down like just right out of the gate im pressing all the way down like the other day my back breaks were locking up and i was sliding around but yeah it feels kind of hard when pushing it but i have to go all the way down also if this helps i live in an area where its been 100+ degrees in the past two weeks so could the break fluid get thin from the heat?

What was the reason you did the brakes in the first place and how did they feel before you did the work ??
Did you have this problem before ??
Brake fluid doesn't get thin. So that one's out.
When you did the brakes, did you do anything to allow brake fluid to bleed out of the system ??
Did you replace any of the calipers, hoses, lines . . . anything that could have let air get into the system ??

Did you have the system open ?? Did you remove a line, caliper or hose or leave a bleeder open ??
Did you bleed all four wheels, one at a time ?? Did you follow the Volvo procedure of which to bleed first and what order to go in ??
Did you bleed them with a vacuum pump, just gravity or with a second person ??
Like Rspi said, if it's not dripping someplace, the master is internally leaking or fluid is bypassing the pistons seals and it needs to go.
When you pull it there is also a chance you might see fluid on the back side of it if the rear seal failed and it's been leaking into the big brake booster it's bolted to.

Bleeding brake (note spelling) systems that include ABS control units (most cars built in last 20 years or so) by using old two-man method is fraught with peril. Using a pressure bleeder is only way to go IMO, and you don't need a helper!
I.e. you have air in the lines if you didn't have this problem before you worked on the brakes. And you're endangering yourself and others by driving your car in this condition.

I can' help people with a problem if they chose not to help themselves.
I'm not asking because I don't have anything else to do.
And I understand the brakes needed to be done but the OP also hasn't said if this problem was there before he did the brakes.
It's a simple question that tells those trying to help the OP if it could be anything since it was already there before the brake job or if it's a new problem which tells people trying to help that it's something caused by something done during the brake job.
